Yep, no argument here. There really isn't much of an avenue to perform some sort of hostile takeover of a sports team, at least not to my knowledge. Even if you could "force a sale" the BOG could just not approve you as a owner. That's the group that could force a sale, not some outsider.It’s also not how debt works. Like at all.
Now, does the BOG have enough to justify a pretty severe action like trying to force Melnyk to sell? I don't think so myself. When the NBA forced Sterling to sell, it was because he was a PR nightmare. While Melnyk is certainly cause for concern every time he approaches a mic, he isn't the type of headache that will affect fans of other teams to stop supporting your product, or boycott advertisers if he's not removed.
