I don't think people expect owners to draw down their personal wealth to put out a competitive team (well, most people don't). I do think people expect that owners shouldn't be allowed to add to their personal wealth by not fielding a competitive team, though. It's a fine distinction, true, but personally I'm outraged that supposedly poverty-stricken teams like Pittsburgh and Florida are allowed to take in more money from revenue sharing than they spend on salary, with all that extra money just disappearing into what I can only assume is the owners' pockets.
