There will always be teams that lose money because there will always be owners that are willing to operate teams at a loss. They see it either as a play thing for them, or a business that loses them money on the surface, but still generally has value because it helps their other enterprises or increases in value over time.
The problems only occur when a team needs to stop losing money and can't pull out of it. I don't know much about Tampa's ownership group though or what their motives are.
