NFL Football as an Asset Class with Michael Hlinka

At that time, I was writing for a weekly magazine, OUTREACH, that was marketed by Toronto’s homeless and unemployed. I published a two-part column in the summer of 2013, THE NFL MEETS THE CFA, that gives you a pretty good idea of my approach when it comes to “investing” in the National Football League.
