Yep, its consensus decision making. I'm sure you know that the problem with that style of decision making is that one party who disagrees can hold the whole process up, and if anyone disagrees strongly enough they can leave completely torpedoing the whole thing. Thats why almost all organisations of all types around the world go for majority and not consensus rule.

It ain't going to last except in utopia.

My god, folks here are speaking up against transparency, democracy and equality LOL

1.Team owned leagues are not utopia, in fact they are the norm from the premiership to the the big 4 in the united states.

2. Although the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL are team owned, they still have a commissioner, a valid punishment system for violations by players and teams, a rules committee, proper revenue sharing, financial incentives based on performance, teams still fold, new teams still come in, propr opportunities for dissent without vindictiveness. Clear media contracts. Independant sponsorships and marketing strategies by teams, and most importantly no dictatorships!

3. Nascar is a dictatorship and borders on sports entertainment than true competition. Many situations and issues are manufactured to make the sport "entertaining" and neutered. Its biggest attraction to the fans is a potential for a multi-car wreck, which the broadcasters play up ni anticipation like giddy kids on xmas eve. Nascar works because its a marketing machine. and is ideally customized to attract legions of fans in the southeast untied states and a "certain type " of demograsphic elswhere. Inspite of that, at least they have fairly transparent rules (although they change when one team succeeds) and a clear money structure that anyowne can see for themselves.
