A sports team run by the fans: Fanagers (get it?)

It appears that John Elway has taken the Broncos up a notch already. He moved them into the 21st century by Twittering inside information about the organization.

By doing so, he has opened up the possibility of a group of fans running a sports team. Imagine a system where the head coaches were interviewed live on the internet to be seen by fans and then the manager was chosen through a fan vote (social security numbers linked to personal Fanager account so there wouldn't be rampant voter fraud). Or, selecting the design for special uniform nights like throwback night. Or even what the batting order should be or when to pull the pitcher. I'd love to be a fanager, I'm sure The Sports Guy would love to have a say, and I bet you would too.
