Hopefully this isn't a fata. Mods, if you would like to put this in the 'other sports' forum please move. I thought it might be of interest to more members so put it here.
Anyway, I thought this was a really interesting idea. You can own a share in an English soccer team, Ebbsfleet United. They play in the English conference only one step away from the professional football league. For your 35pnds per year you get to have a single vote on team selection, transfers, general running of the club etc. People from foreign countries are welcome to join too.
I'm definitely going to consider buying in. What a great way to give sports back to the average fan. It will certainly be interesting to see how this will work in practice.

edit: For you anal spelling types, apologies for the 'a' instead of 'an' in the title. Too fast on the trigger.
