This is the core issue. Pretty much anyone who (1) has the means to buy an NFL team and (2) actually wants to are likely to be serious ********* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like most super rich people are going to be asshats, but Shahid Khan and the Wal-Mart kids at least seem like "normal rich asshats." I guess they might do better trying to convince MacKenzie Scott she needs to own a couple of NFL teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget albums if she does a couple more tours she is in owner category. On her current Eras tour she has already grossed over $1.2bn and expected to make over $4bn when the tour ends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
