caulfield12 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Let's not forget George W. Bush's ownership of the Rangers. While not being ex-presidents, there are numerous Big 4 sports owners with obvious ties to politics, starting with Mark Cuban. Trump owned the New Jersey Generals USFL team. Also, look no further than the Ricketts Family donations to the GOP and/or Trump campaign (at the end, after first crossing him) this past election cycle.

South Side Fireworks Man Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 QUOTE (Lillian @ Nov 27, 2016 -> 06:02 PM) 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? Once again I agree with you.

Eminor3rd Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 QUOTE (Carpe Diem @ Nov 27, 2016 -> 07:23 PM) 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.

soxforlife05 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) Well at least we know he likes to spend recklessly. That could be good for our ability to sign top FA's. The downward arrow on the ballpark would be so appropriate for an Obama owned team. Edited November 28, 2016 by soxforlife05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southwest Sider Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) I'll give the OP this, he acts like he has sources according to some of his post history. He started that 2 team race thread and if I recall correctly no one questioned him then. Edit: AND the owner of the site spoke with him like he was a credible source... I'd be curious to see the responses of some Administrators of the forum. Edited November 28, 2016 by South Sider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Jimmy0 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Works for me. I figured he'd try to get part of the Bulls at some point. I don't agree with everything he's done politically but jesus christ people. You wouldn't be a Sox fan anymore? Really? Jerry f***ing Reinsdorf is the current owner. Go read "The Game" with all the inside info from the owners' perspectives during the strike and late 90's and get back to me about how terrible it'd be. How could you root for them? You guys are as whiny as Cubs fans were when "they had to root for Chapman". Get over it, or don't and leave the fanbase. Either works for me.

greg775 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I love Obama the Sox fan. Does he have enough money to be any kind of White Sox owner?? He's not rolling in cash is he? I don't think so anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Everyone's political leanings aside, this would probably be the best possible thing to happen to the White Sox since 2005. You'd have the superstar owner that could actually draw free agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjusttyped Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Obama having a significant ownership stake would also put any fears I had of the team moving after JR's death to bed. Although, for the moment at least, I don't see any reason to believe this rumor is legitimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
