It's easier to understand if you look at how the owners made their money. Edwards, for instance, made his nut in pipelines – an established industry where you maximize profit by minimizing risk. A number of the American owners made their fortunes in new industries where just getting in was a big risk. It would be very surprising if they didn't bring those attitudes to their sports properties.
