The Glazer family was enticed by Baltimore with plans for a new more profitable stadium, but stayed in Florida after the city of Tampa passed legislation for and a new state-of-the-art stadium Raymond James Stadium. It was built in Tampa to retain the team and replaced the old dated Tampa Stadium that was maligned by sportscaster Chris Berman as the "Big Sombrero" for its shape.

Prior to Glazer ownership, the Buccaneers were perennial losers, maligned by others as the Yuccaneers and other derogatory names. The hiring of qualified football coaches and office staff quickly turned around the franchise and in a short few years the team was a playoff contender. In the 1999 season the team, then coached by Tony Dungy, was defeated in the NFC championship game by the heavily favored St. Louis Rams by a score of 11-6 in a game in which the Bucs and their defensive-minded scheme nearly pulled a major upset. In the 2002 season, the first season with new coach Jon Gruden, the Buccaneers defeated the Oakland Raiders for their first Super Bowl victory. Gruden had coached the Raiders the previous season.

Manchester United

Main article: Malcolm Glazer takeover of Manchester United

In May 2005, Glazer paid $1.47 billion for 28.7 percent of English Premier League football team Manchester United, following a nearly year-long takeover battle. The takeover was fiercely opposed by many fans of Manchester United, who organised themselves in the form of the independent Manchester United Supporters' Trust (formerly Shareholders United), partly due to the fact that the Glazer takeover saddled the club with a large debt (over $850m) and interest that comes with it (approx £60 million a year) but also due to many fans' belief that the club should be in the hands of fans and not business men. The mainly match-going fans object to the escalating ticket prices at a time when the club receives more money than ever from TV and sponsorship deals. Supporters of Manchester United in other parts of the world, such as North America and the Far East, have, in relative terms, looked upon the transition in ownership with relative dispassion. Since the deal went through Malcolm Glazer himself has played little visible role at the club, which seems to be run mainly by his children, several of whom are club directors, while he is not. After Manchester United F.C. was floated on the stock market in 1990, the high value of the club made it seem unlikely that a hostile takeover would be possible. ...
