DODGERS The ongoing OWNERSHIP Thread

did you know any previous sports owners histories?
no you didnt, the public used to not even know jack shit of owners who had owned teams for years
i think we need extensive checks on people
but the 'ive never heard of this guy' check is not really valid
its probably going to be a given that you arent going to know much about people who havent been in the sports eye
remember when Cuban was just that computer nerd who thought he could buy a pro nba team and nobody took him seriously
then he did

im wary of this guy for the very fact that i dont really know much about him
but im not going to write him off without first getting to know more
because the MLB people are going to check, we would hope

then again imo Blackstone wasnt going to get into the game for shits and giggles
if they are in, they most likely already know the final score

 

do you know one thing that mitt romney has ever made?
yet millions are ready to make him the leader of this nation
we would be lucky to have this kinda of scrutiny placed on the people set to lead our country over those set to lead our sports teams

 

there are gold mines everywhere
new technology to let people find stuff in the ground that could not be seen years before
tech we had back when we were nice enough to buy western america from mexico and alaska from russia
there be gold in them hills... and in that gulf
and in the gulf of vietnam and the deserts of iraq and the hills of afghanistan
just gold comes in many shapes, sizes, and colors

i dont know anything about this dude, but maybe he developed tech to find some kind of deposit of a valuable resource on some cheap scrubland that sells for a few thousand bucks an acre in some places

hmmm, some cheap land in the wilderness seems like a good idea

 

but yeah, bud selig was totally fair with frank mccourt all along, right?
lol

its all personal guys, like ive said from the start
frank mccourt was supposed to be an easy puppet to lead around, exactly the type bud likes
he had no money and no connections in the game supposedly so he was easy to control
but frank quickly made friends with the evil empire
and the evil empire rewards those who reward it
with sweetheart deals for fox by the dodgers came fox support inside the MLB and pressure on bud
enough for bud to no longer feel like he could effectively control mccourt
and then mccourt rebelled completely
i know you guys hate the al davis comparison but look at it from the league office POV not your POV
to them McCourt represented someone who was not going to toe the line and do what the league office commanded
but instead do what was best for his business, and that business includes the dodgers
someone who thinks in that way is the type of owner who usually does what is within his means to help his organizations
frank is a snake, but imo all these types of people are probably dirty filthy snakes
its hard to get where they are by being good honest people

but at least i knew McCourt has the one thing that most others owners dont have
the willingness and the balls to routinely go against the leadership of the sport even when the league had already put the media and the fans in their pocket
its hard to find owners who are like that
the only thing harder than finder an owner that will challenge the league like that is finding an owner who isnt a dirty snake
they usually all are snakes, but few of those snakes is also a great ballsy leader

IMO its harder to tame a snake than to find a leader
one just takes time, the other is near impossible

 

from their perspective diablo, not ours or even reality
why are you playing like you dont understand when you do?
al davis was hated by the NFL Office, no matter how many nice things they said
just like McCourt is hated at the MLB Office
not because he is not a nice guy or because he looked at Bud Seligs wife the wrong way... but because McCourt isnt playing the Bud Selig game

look at the guys from the Mets, how much trouble this guy has put the organization in, how much debt, how much he has had to leverage himself and the team to the point where some guy is just waiting for him to default in order to take the team (selig wont let that happen), he has been bailed out and allowed to keep his franchise and people cant seem to understand why
its some kind of mystery to them how fred wilpon incurs no wrath from Selig
he is part of the MLB ownership inner circle, the ones who really hold the power

 

of course they'd go after a higher price any way they could
but they could care less about dodger/giant rivalry, fame and/or mccourt hatred
they're attorneys
they care only about themselves
check that...
only about the almighty dollar

 

huh?
of course it does, on multiple levels
its a huge thing for the other clubs

 

mammon

 

mccourt is a fucken sociopath
he does despicable things
and feels absolutely no remorse
