Celtics supporters have a major request to Celtics owner.
The Boston Celtics’ current ownership group want to cash out. Some Celtics fans are trying to prevent one specific scenario following the announcement of the team’s potential sale.
On Monday, the Celtics announced that the organization’s majority ownership group, Boston Basketball Partners LLC, led by owner Wyc Grousbeck, intended to sell their investment in the team.
Grousebeck and his co-owners appear to be selling high following the Celtics’ recent championship victory.
Several Celtics fans on X expressed similar reactions to the news. The fans made it clear that they did not want Grousbeck to sell to Fenway Sports Group.
Fenway Sports Group owns various sports teams, including the Boston Red Sox, Liverpool F.C., and Pittsburgh Penguins.
Some Bostonians accuse the owning group of prioritizing profit over performance. A few supporters are still upset with the Red Sox’s choice to move Mookie Betts to the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2020 rather than pay the former AL MVP.
However, considering that a current player is an investor in Fenway Sports Group, a potential conflict of interest would certainly block such a sale.
