Why do the big American sports give trophies to the management types?

If you think about it, the players actually do the least. The management/owners have to choose the players, strategize in regard to managing the players' egos, deal with organizing travel to away games, managing stadium operations, etc. THAT is where the games are won or lost.

That is some good comedy

I agree, that is asinine. Hopefully in jest, but given the consistent practice for every basketaball, baseball, and football championship, from college to pro (probably hs too, but I don't see those on tv), it may be what Americans actually believe.

Check out the BCS. I remember last time Florida won, it was all about Urban Meyer for the presentation, initial glory and interviews, then Tim Tebow, of course, and the rest of the team.

Who is the owner in track and field?

The guy who owns the team invested the money to make it happened. He (she?) took the risks to invest in a team.

It would be interesting to have one NFL team that operates like a co-op. The players own the team and they each have an equal share. They make all the hiring/firing decision for players, coaches, and the front office. They decide on a game strategy and develop offense and defensive schemes by consensus. They make all marketing decisions, etc.
