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.

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

So if some other black guy buys an NFL team before Diddy can, is he not gonna go do it?

But this is crazy.

Surely more than a few of you wouldnt mind seeing him make the Bensons an offer. Bring a little class to the organization

If he does that is cool but I don't see him being able to afford it.

This is the final barrier. Blacks will finally be equal with whites if this happens. We've come a long way since chattel slavery, y'all.

My favorite people in this thread are the ones who make it a point to appear blasé about the significance of a black NFL owner.

He better find a cool 50 billion then.

All an nFL team is to their owners is a playstation game. A weekend home. A fancy car. Just a toy to play with.
