I'm disappointed that you made no mention of Hapo'el Yerushalayim soccer team -- not only did they precede Beitar by more than a decade, in their current incarnation they revolutionized the sport by becoming a FAN-OWNED team. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hapoel_Jerusalem_F.C. Kind of what the LA Clippers should do -- I think they should be a player-owned team, but Fan-Owned is also good.
