Sean "Diddy" Combs to Bloomberg TV: I will become the first NFL African-American majority owner.

Nancy Gay ?@nancygay 5h
Says Combs on NFL ownership, "Not havin' a small stake, but actually owning an NFL team. And I think it's time for that."

More Combs on NFL ownership: "A majority of the players that are in the NFL are African-American, but there are no African-American owners."

I'd have no problem with that. If you've got the cash, go for it.

jeez does it really matter what color an NFL owner is? The thought never entered my head until just now.

Better chance of getting into football than baseball. He should go for it.

Who really gives a shite about who the owner of any team is?

If he divests every holding that he has, he would still be a half billion short. Unless he puts together an ownership group with jayz and fiddy.

i don't care if he owns a team.. i just hate the logic, "And I think it's time for that"

it shouldn't matter either way. where are all the other race groups at? again tho i am all for him owning a team if he wants. he has the money to.

According to Forbes, diddy's net worth is around $580 million. The NFL's least valuable franchise according to Forbes is the Raiders at $825 million. I suppose he could swing a majority...barely.

On that thought, are the Raiders a potential gold mine for the right owner? I was surprised that given their histor and their national recognition they're so low. I think if the right owner went in there and got them out of their shite hole stadium and committed to building the team, that value would skyrocket.

Why does everything have to be about race?

FWIW, there is an middle-eastern NFL owner

Just because the majority of the players are black doesn't mean there has to be more black owners, that is just stupid.

We need more Jew owners of sports teams. The Jewish have been persecuted against long enough!

I doubt P Diddy has the money. Even Magic Johnson, a pretty astute businessman could only afford a partial interest in the Dodgers.

I just don't see anyone in the music business able to make the kind of cash needed given how the music business has changed. Artists don't sell as many records as they used to due the digital music revolution and how artists don't need record companies like they used to with digital music.

P. Diddy can't even count on royalties since he samples so much. He doesn't even own 100 percent of his biggest hits.

Maybe if P Diddy gets lucky with investments out of the music industry.
