You are being deliberately imprecise to make them seem equivalent. While some clubs are indeed corporations (with shares) they are mostly treated as associations, whose goal it is to advance the sport competitively, win the various competitions and deliver good entertainment. The primary goal of corporations is realizing good returns for investors.

That goal is a social convention. The CEOs of the worlds largest corporations themselves recently discussed moving away from this as a goal to something they call “stakeholder capitalism”.

We see this in debates about moving supply chains back on shore and focusing on domestic job creation. Those are not legitimate complaints if corporations and their profit is an unquestionable moral principle.

yes they are legitimate goal even for pursuing only profit. supply chain on shore is maybe in some way more reslilent, with especialy in geopolitics. job creating is leading to more prosperousing in society and more customer. also maybe these things are reduce likelihood of being smacked with unfortunate regulating.
