Washington Post Live is hosting a panel discussion, the Business of Sports Q&A, featuring ownership from all the D.C. pro teams at 8:45 a.m. today The panelists include:

Ted Leonsis, owner the Washington Capitals, Wizards and Mystics (Monumental Sports)

Robert Tanenbaum, principal owner of the Washington Nationals and Marla Lerner Tanenbaum, chairperson of the Washington Nationals Dream Foundation

Daniel Snyder, owner of the Washington Redskins

Will Chang, owner of D.C. United

The panel will be talking about what they “do and don’t do to make their franchises successful.” Last time I checked, only one of those owners is successful right now. I am interested to see what questions make it through the screening.

The Tanenbaums appearance as the Nats representatives on the panel is a little surprising, because Ted Lerner is the “managing principal partner” and his son Mark is the principal partner that has been most active, at least publicly, of the principal owners. I cannot recall any occasion other than the introductory press conference in 2006 that Robert Tanenbaum, a son-in-law, was specifically involved in.
