Apparently this is a done deal and his stake will start small, but will potentially grow into him becoming the majority owner.

I hope that this is some kind of a joke, a bad joke.

Nah it is reality....politics aside it isn't a bad idea at all.

I don't mind it at all. Pretty cool.

meanwhile native americans and protesters are getting their arms blown off and heads cracked by corporate oil police and Obama couldn't care less

 

this makes me angry

I've been a Sox fan for over 60 years, however it would be very difficult for me to root for them, if they were owned by Obama.

I'm afraid that I just couldn't subordinate my political ideology to that degree. As someone who reveres America's founding principles of liberty and limited government, that would be awfully hard to accept. Where did you see this story?

 

Have any links or anything regarding this?

How can he possibly have enough money for majority shares of a MLB team?

He has a ton of connections. While I am skeptical whether this is true, I have no doubt he could put a group together that could fund about anything. I think he wants part of an NBA team.

Because he has been stealing from Americans the past 8 years.

I hate to burst any bubbles, but if you don't think the White Sox are in trouble going forward you are an idiot.

 

 

Look at how much attendance has slipped and continutes to do so. The product has been garbage since 2005 and the Cubs have FINALLY taken a stranglehold on the Chicago market ...in large part by HIRING A SMART FRONT OFFICE AND SPENDING MONEY.

 

 

Obama would give the White Sox NEEDED exposure and stability.

Can anyone confirm this?

So... uh... how about them links?

Anyone who carries political views into sports is a dumbf*** in my opinion.

 

I'm part of the Angry Middle so take my word for what you want, but who the hell cares what side of the isle they are if they can help the team win.

The likelihood that he has any discussions on this let alone finalized an agreement seems far fetched

Uh...who are you?

So Chicago would be a "Sanctuary City", which violates the Second Amendment and my favorite team would be owned by Barak Obama. So, exactly why would I be a Sox fan? Oh, never mind, I wouldn't be.

See ya.

If this is your reasoning for abandoning the Sox, then trust me, you won't be misssd.

Out of curiosity, would this be with the current ownership group, or a new one? And where in the world would Barack Obama be coming up with the majority of a billion-ish dollars from?

Reminder that there is a filibuster for political conversation. We have had many Obama as Sox fan threads that didn't need it and neither should this.

I was guessing "majority" may mean chairman, like the Michael Jordan led charlotte team. No way he gets 500 million out of a book deal.

He prints it. Then he deposits it into a bank.

Chairman of the Board and/or President of the team makes sense. Majority owner means cash and tons of it.
