Twitter: the place media and the public alike turns for news and public
sentiment. Its a reflection of what individuals, groups and brands deem
important for those with interest. The respective Twitter accounts of
the Tampa Buccaneers and Manchester United took different approaches
Wednesday upon news of the passing of Malcolm Glazer, 85, owner of NFLs
Bucs and patriarch of the Glazers takeover of United. A life celebrated
by the Buccaneers, a life unacknowledged by United.
@TBBuccaneers told a story of the loss of a beloved owner and friend,
with condolences and heartfelt messages pouring in from across the NFL
world. Pictures were shared of Glazer hoisting the Lombardi trophy
among fitting tributes to a Super Bowl winner and highly regarded
franchise owner.
There was no mention of Glazers death on Manchester Uniteds Twitter
account (@ManUtd). A brief, 75-word mention on Manutd.com was the depth
of any tribute. No pictures of Premier League glory. No
acknowledgement of what he and his family have done for the club.
Silence, which speaks volumes.
Instead of paying tribute to the life of Glazer, @ManUtd daily content
featured a picture of Sri Lankas cricketers paying a visit to Old
Trafford, and condolences of the passing of former player and 1958 FA
Cup winner Stan Crowther. It was best for the club to ignore, rather
than enrage. The worldwide reaction to Glazers death has brought back a
groundswell of negative emotion. The story of the Glazers truly
provides a cautionary tale; with ownership does not come entitlement.
The Glazers remain controversial, disliked and untrustworthy even nine
years after the familys leveraged takeover of Manchester United. Glazer
Out and Love United, Hate Glazer remain the popular sentiments among
the majority of Manchester Uniteds roughly 660 million supporters
worldwide. Five Premier League titles and Champions League glory cannot
wash away ill feelings. The issues are as much symbolic as they are
fiscal and they run deep.
Over �680 million has been spent paying down the debt on the club
purchase of approximately �790 million in 2005. Malcolm didnt have the
liquidity to purchase the team without incurring incredible debt.
Manchester United was purchased on debt, taking the club from once
financially secure and debt-free into a new era of massive debt payments
and financial unknown. Current club debt sits at �351.7 million
despite a growing number of brand partnerships and sponsors and
unprecedented popularity.
Debt remains a burden and central influence on club direction.
Bankruptcy is not a realistic end game because Manchester United is far
too lucrative.
The brand itself thrives and continues to grow, with the Glazers
squeezing as much revenue as possible from the logo. The brand is
Teflon.
Thats fine and part of business. Heres where its important to separate
the brand from emotion. There is no personal relationship, nor
overriding fandom as the driving force in the Glazers interest in
United. There never has been. The Glazer ownership seems no more than a
stale, unemotional business transaction. Buy, sell, grow, expand, its
all about monetary growth.
The very essence of the North American sporting culture, rendering a
product thats popularity comes from a place of passion to becoming a
series of business transactions and a moneymaker. Soulless.
There is supposed to be something more substantial as motive towards
ownership of a club like United than merely dollars and cents � a level
of romanticism, a guardianship from a place of genuine affection.
Malcolm never stepped foot in Old Trafford, a stroke in 2006 contributed
to the detachment. Sons Avram and Joel are co-chairmen and are heavily
involved in the operation of the club. Three of Malcolms other
children owning stake have rarely, if ever been seen.
Sadly, these individuals will play decisive roles in what happens at
United next.
Although Malcolm never had anything to do with the day-to-day operation,
hell forever been synonymous with the controversial takeover of
United. After failing in his attempt to purchase the Los Angeles
Dodgers over a decade ago, Glazer turned his attention to Old Trafford.
Glazer began buying up smaller portfolios of ownership, setting himself
up to take advantage of the dispute between manager Sir Alex Ferguson
with United shareholders JP McManus and John Magnier over the stud
rights of racehorse Rock of Gibraltar.
Glazer bought McManus/Magniers shares in 2005, taking control of almost
75 percent of club shares and allowing him to strong-arm the board and
remaining shareholders on his way to complete control.
Many hands were dirty putting Malcolm on the fast track to ownership,
inside and outside of the club. The Premier League stood idle as
Manchester United supporters made their disapproving voices heard.
League overseers have remained absent in the fight. Those who the team
is supposed to represent are true victims of this power play.

The teams were scoreless for most of the first two periods before Canada
scored three times in a span of less than four minutes.
Sarah Potomak opened the scoring on the power play.MIAMI -- David Wright
has been feeling more comfortable at the plate in the past week, and he
was due for a big game.
Wright broke out of his offensive woes with three hits -- including two
doubles -- and three RBIs and powered the New York Mets to an 8-6 win
over the Miami Marlins on Tuesday night.
"Its fun to get hits, its fun to drive in runs, and it sure is fun to
win," Wright said. "All in all, a good night."
Wright came into the game in a 7-for-50 slump, dating to Aug. 14, and
had only one extra-base hit in August.
"Its nice to feel comfortable and its nice to feel dangerous, and thats
what Ive felt lately," Wright said.
Juan Lagares reached base five times, including a career-high four hits,
stole two bases, scored three runs, and drove in two for the Mets, who
pounded out 16 hits -- two shy of their season high. New York had 18
against Atlanta on July 8.
"He had a tremendous night offensively," Mets manager Terry Collins
said.
Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton hit his 35th home run and second in
two games against the Mets. He drove in two runs to give him 101 RBIs,
becoming the first Marlins player to drive in 100 runs since Dan Uggla
had 105 RBIs in 2010.
"This guy has been locked in and feeling good," Marlins manager Mike
Redmond said. "The last couple of days the swings have been great and
hes been focused. I know he probably doesnt think about the 100 RBIs but
to see the way hes playing at crunch time, its fun."
Christian Yelich had three of the Marlins 11 hits. Miami beat the Mets
9-6 on Monday when they were helped by six New York errors.
"You have nine guys trying to put good at-bats and score runs," Yelich
said. "Offence can be streaky at times. Hopefully we can keep this up
and finish the year strong."
Jonathon Niese (8-10) earned the win on Tuesday, giving up five runs in
six innings. Jenrry Mejia pitched the ninth to record his 22nd save in
25 chances.
Brad&nnbsp;Penny (1-1) took the loss, allowing seven hits and four
runs in three innings.dddddddddddd
The Mets jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the second inning before Stantons
two-run homer cut the Marlins deficit to 4-3.
New York extended its lead to 7-3 with three runs in the fourth on RBI
singles by Lagares and Lucas Duda, and a run-scoring double by Wright.
A sacrifice fly by Reed Johnson and an RBI single by Yelich pulled Miami
within 7-5.
Wrights third RBI of the game came on a sacrifice fly in the sixth. That
was matched by a groundout by Garrett Jones, who scored
Adeiny Hechavarria in the bottom of the sixth to keep the Marlins within
two runs at 8-6.
Relievers Carlos Torres, Jeurys Familia, and Mejia held the Marlins
scoreless over the final three innings.
"You can have a game like last night where we absolutely stunk and you
can bring in the same guys in the same situation the next night and they
can be brilliant, and thats baseball," Collins said, "Thats what makes
our game great."

Marlins RHP Henderson Alvarez (left oblique strain), who left Mondays

eight starts. DeGrom is 2-0 with a 0.64 ERA in two starts against the
Marlins.
LAGARES ON A ROLL
Lagares two stolen bases gave him five in five games. He is hitting .381
(16 for 42) over his last 11 games.
"I think youre seeing the making of a really good player," Wright said.
