There has been an ongoing case between Frank McCourt and Jamie McCourt for the ownership of the Dodgers. Their divorce has led to Jamie's pursuit of full ownership of the team. Many people question her actions because they believe that it was a selfish act in order to get back at Frank. Just recently a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled shared ownership, meaning that Frank and Jamie will have to spilt the ownership of the Dodgers. This has angered a lot of the Dodgers followers because they are concerned with the wellbeing of the team. The fans are mostly anguished because they do not know how good of a owner Jamie will be, they question her integrity for the game. This could be primarily because she is a female. The only reason I would question her ownership would be because she was never as involved as Frank. This issue can relate to social class. The battle for the ownership of the team is between two wealthy people, one of whom doesn't take into consideration the wellbeing of the team or those below them; meanwhile the people at the bottom such as the players, coaches and trainers do not know how they are going to affected. Is Jamie's action justified? Is the questioning of Jamie's ownership by the fans due to sexism or is there truth to their comments?
