The Celtics, a beloved part of Boston’s history and identity, are at risk of becoming just another asset in Fenway Sports Group and John Henry's portfolio. The zeal for victory defines the Celtics, and it's pivotal that anyone leading the organization should put that first. This is why the current ownership group has been so adored by fans. We all feel that we can share the fandom and the love of our team with the ownership group, because we all have the same goal - to win every year, no matter how insurmountable it may seem or how unrealistic that may be. That’s what sports are all about; giving it your all to accomplish your dreams, no matter how far-fetched they may be. Red Sox fans have lost that same connection and it’s no coincidence. John Henry has publicly mocked fans for expecting to win every year, which goes against everything we love about the Celtics franchise and this current ownership group. We accept and acknowledge we won’t win every year. But we will never settle for anything less than that being the expectation every single year. Fenway Sports Group has shown interests that do not align with those of loyal Celtics fans or the Celtics organization. Such ownership threatens the very soul of our cherished basketball team. As multiple reputable reports reveal, fan engagement and satisfaction are vital for the success of a sports team, and any successful team should put their fans' interest at heart. We urge concerned parties to prevent Fenway Sports Group and John Henry from acquiring the Boston Celtics to preserve the pride and joy of the Boston sports community.
