Walmart is mentioned because a Walton who owns about 11% tops a list of the richest NFL team owners. The article only links family wealth and sports ownership and gives no sales, profit, or operational news for Walmart, so it does not change how we read the company.
Home Depot is mentioned because Arthur Blank co-founded the company and owns an NFL team; the article gives no Home Depot operating or sales information.
Manchester United is referenced because the Glazer family controls both the Buccaneers and Manchester United; the article has no revenue or stadium news for MANU.
