Subby - if a WNBA team had been involved, the headline should have like this:

"We now have our first owner of an openly lesbian professional sports team"

Word order...what a difference it makes... ^_^

The only way I'm gonna watch an NBA game is if they make it "shirts and skins".

Considering it's the Cubs, I LOL'd.

Those poor people.

What does the WNBA have to do with professional sports?

 
MFAWG 2009-11-03 06:29:30 AM  
At least 2 of the 4 owners of the WNBA Storm are out lesbians.

 
OtherLittleGuy 2009-11-03 07:29:13 AM  
Oh, so THAT'S what the Cubs needed.

Lesbian ownership!

her brother pete ran for senate in nebraska as a just-to-the-right-of-david-duke republican espousing "nebraska values." apparently, at least as far as his family goes, those values include chowing box. which is awesome.

A friend of mine used to tell a great joke about Marge Schott.

I forgot how it went, but it ended with her elbow-deep in a vagina.

I am so very tired of being expected to care whether people like dicks or vaginas. I DO NOT CARE if a gay person owns something or does something or likes rainbows. I just don't give a fark. Can we please stop focusing on whether people like innies or outies? SRSLY WTF

No kidding... when it really comes down to it, this headline actually reads: "Billionaire buys sports franchise, still completely unlike any of you cretins." As far as I can tell, this is yet another victory for wealthy people's rights and little else.

Is the WNBA really professional (despite the paychecks)?

I guess the headline boils down to "Billionaire has lesbian daughter"

Yeah, why is this a "baseball milestone?" I didn't realize we were keeping track of owners' sexual preference. Who gives a shiat?

 
howdyyall9999 2009-11-03 11:22:21 AM  
Well I guess now there is atleast one person associated with that team that DEFINATELY doesn't suck...

Not this woman's fault that she has become the story after the Cubs purchase.

What I'd like to know is how someone can fork over money for a franchise that's been failing for 101 years...

/profits, I know
//Book it. Done.

I think that this is actually a pretty big deal for MLB. Maybe not so much for the rest of the civilized world, but definitely for baseball. These guys won't even use instant replay to prevent the outcome of playoff games from being completely screwed. I just find it a little hard to believe that Bud Selig knew anything about this before the sale of the team was complete. He just seems too old fashioned.

 
wutchamacallem 2009-11-03 12:13:05 PM  
Well, shoot.
I was just about to make my move.

Sorry...the first gay sports team owner was Peter Karmonos when he bought the NHL Whalers back in the '90s.

Ah, yes-- as I recall, the sale was finalized when the NHL was assured the team name would not become the Hartford Seamen or Hartford Sperm Whalers.

I suppose this means they will replace the grass at Wrigley with carpet now in case the owner gets hungry

It's Subby's statement, not mine:

We now have our first openly lesbian owner of a professional sports team, amazingly not a WNBA team
