Sports is a HUGE business (who couldn’t figure that out) but you might be surprised to learn what teams comprise the list of the world’s most valuable sport’s teams. Forbes comprised a list of the top 50, I’m giving you the top 20. Football and Futbol (soccer) rule the top 30. There are 14 NFL teams in the top 20 (the owners didn’t want to miss any games either. 3 New York teams make the top 10. There’s 1 MLB team and my beloved NBA doesn’t even crack the top 45 (The Knicks are #47, my Lakers are 48). Soccer though not big in America, has the world’s most valuable team overall, check it out:
