smuvtalker Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 owner. That would almost be as big as a Super Bowl win. I do not believe there are any black owners. I think the Vikings, maybe several years back, were being pursued by a black man, but he could not come up with the capital, or had some legal issues going on that prevented him...
SKOOBY Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Is this cause of Obama? Alcohol is a more likely cause.
billsfanmiami(oh) Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 owner. That would almost be as big as a Super Bowl win. No offense, but may I ask why?
Kelso_Helmet Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Uh...I guess it would be a nice thing to be able to say. But I'm not too concerned if the Bills' owner is white, black, or a transgender left-handed lactose intolerant Samoan. Just win and keep the team in Western NY.
realtruelove Posted November 10, 2008 Author Posted November 10, 2008 No offense, but may I ask why? Maybe by selling the team to a minority owner, Ralph could get some kind of capital gains tax breaks.
billsfanmiami(oh) Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Maybe by selling the team to a minority owner, Ralph could get some kind of capital gains tax breaks. Or maybe the new owner would "spread the wealth" and we could all get a stake in the team!
The Avenger Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 As far as I know, there is only 1 black owner in any of the 4 major sports - Robert Johnson who a principal owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, and this has only been since 2002. Incidentally, Johnson is also the first black American billionaire - he founded the BET network. Once again, it takes tremendous financial resources to own a team - you can't be rich, you have to be wealthy. As Chris Rock says, "Shaq is rich. The white guy who signs Shaq's check is wealthy".
Captain Hindsight Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Maybe by selling the team to a minority owner, Ralph could get some kind of capital gains tax breaks. O yes those equal rights the minorities have been fighting for
UConn James Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 No offense, but may I ask why? B/c then, maybe the league will start giving us regular sympathy f--ks. 'Bout the last 10 years, the NFL has helped teams so they can make up their overarching stories. The 'Patriots' winning the SB after 9/11, and their help from the refs. Georgia Frontiere's team winning the SB. Bettis winning a SB in his last season. Teams like the Bills don't fit into the WWF's NFL's plans.
R. Rich Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 If they give me a good price, I'll buy the team and immediately fire everyone, then replace 'em w/ people from the Wall. We'd all bring a winner to Buffalo 'cause we all know what needs to be done.

R. Rich Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Sounds like a reasonable business plan. Okay Kenneth, you're the new GM.
Marv's Neighbor Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Maybe by selling the team to a minority owner, Ralph could get some kind of capital gains tax breaks. He better do it before January 20th!
KOKBILLS Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Oprah >>>>> Ralph That goes without saying...
UncleBuff Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 This just in........... Herman Edwards fired today from KC has come to a tentative agreement to buy the Bills. The deal hinges on whether the current owner can pass a mental competency test. Roger Goodel says the league is lending Edwards the money, an interest only loan that will be financed through AIG, Wachovia, Lehman Bros and Merrill Lynch. This will be a no credit check, low documentation loan Edwards will also serve as the teams GM and coach. In his 1st personnel move, he will trade Peters and Whitner and a 2nd rounder for John Lynch. The Bills will go 0-16 in 09 but will still be invited to the White House by President Obama. Skooby what happened to your avatar portrait?
