Sure, he could buy his own private island or snag a ticket for the first Virgin Galactic flight to space, but Blizzard COO Paul Sams would much rather just buy a chunk of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers’ official website names Sams and his family as one of 10 new joint owners of Pittsburgh’s football team.
We’ve already seen some of the fruits of Blizzard’s labor in the company’s fawncy new campus, but buying a share of a major football team wasn’t exactly what we expected. Though with upcoming World of Warcraft expansion Cataclysm not too far in the distance and a subscriber base of over 11 million strong, we suggest owners of other football teams watch their backs. You could be next!
