What a waste of all that wealth! I'd have a penthouse in the city, a big mansion in the burbs, a ridiculous lake house in Wisconsin/Michigan, an absurd mansion in Florida.

Totally. A moat with attack dogs too. He's doing it all wrong.

And a trophy baseball team to rob blind.

Oh for sure. I'd screw over all those loser millionaires on my team, and of course those worthless scum fans would receive the brunt of it at my own personal benefit.

But actually, it's a shame that I don't own the Sox. We'd have a top payroll every year and CHSN wouldn't freeze at all the commercial breaks. I'd have an elite IT team to make sure the app runs smoothly.

"He posted at me with tears in his eyes. Big, strong @Chicago White Sox with tears in his eyes. He said 'Sir, you go ahead and buy all the teams, raze all the bluffs, and block all the shorelines you want. I just want you to have joy, Sir.'"

So he'll foreclose on a bunch of mortgages removing people from their homes while operating the Sox at a huge loss because he wants to win a baseball championship?

It's a beautiful world we live in.

You're mostly talking about the Phoenix Suns here, and Mat (annoying MSU name spelling).

Justin has limited exposure to UWMC, comparatively.

This whole situation is more about bad bets against Federal interest rates impacting mortgage rates...Justin's emergency $2 billion is a backstop to give things time to recover.

I think you meant this for Tray and Jerry.

At least he's saving money by living rent free in people's heads.

We've discussed this, professional sports is literally the safest and best performing investment a moneyed entity could make. Long gone are the days of it being a vanity purchase. There's no reason to believe Ishbia is any different from these entities, these dudes want to make money above anything else. If it's more profitable to move the team and never sign huge free agent contracts, that's almost certainly what he's gonna do.
