Short YouTube video (April 4, 2024) by Eric Deeran that debunks the myth that sports team owners also act as coaches. Using Arthur Blank and the Atlanta Falcons as a concrete example, the speaker explains owners typically "just own the business" and do not make daily coaching decisions or pick plays/players.
