Minnesota Vikings sold

[Nitemare]

First Black NFL owner

:beer:

Damn it! I misread "The Forty-Niners Sold" and got excited.

 

[spliffstar69]

What if the other owners reject ?

 

[Jeff7181]

What? EA didn't buy them?

 

[Albis]

good to see minorities step up into the sports light

 

[ManSnake]

Why does it matter if the buyer is black or white? 😕

 

[digitalsm]

Why would they reject?

I dont know why anyone would buy the franchise. Its locked into the sh!tty Metrodome with no realistic way out.

 

[Mr N8]

I'm sure the owners won't reject the sale. I think it will be a good move for the Vikings, as the fans pretty much can't stand Red, anyway.

 

[Queasy]

Hell, I'd buy them. Do you have any idea how much the payout was for TV revenues this past year? It's huuuuuuge. The 11-year lease on the Metrodome sucks but what you gonna do. The value of the team will still increase substantially over that time frame.

I don't care if he's black or white, as long as he gets Mike Tice to stop wearing that stupid pencil.

It's just cool to see the old white guy owner mold broken every once in awhile, especially in an industry where so many employees are non-white.

LOL, true. Niners have become the new Clippers of the west.

Agreed. I hope he is successful with the team even though I don't care about the Vikings.

well for one they sell out every home game, not that it's that hard with an older stadium.

If this goes through, Tice won't be there coaching anymore. There are still a lot of hurdles that this group needs to jump through before this is a done deal.

Won't happen. Fowler already said he would move to Minnesota if the deal goes through. Besides, the NFL will not allow it, just look at how much support the Cardinals are getting.:roll:
