If a Sheikh tried to buy an NFL franchise

[BlackAchilles]

Do you think they'd ever let it happen?

Or would the legions of butthurt good ol boys calling in yelling about terrorists taking over 'Murica and how Obama made it happen be too much?

We've already had a Russian Oligarch buy a US team, I'm wondering how long til a Sheikh tries to make inroads to US sports (Oligarchs and Sheikhs buying teams is the current wave in Europe fyi)

They'd sell it to anyone w/ the cash. A Sheikh cant be worse than Irsay or Haslam

He's a us citizen. And made his money here

The only color that matters is green.

The other owners would make that sheikh overpay but Probably depending on the sport.

Baseball though? Hell no. They wouldn't let Marc Cuban own a team. They won't let a sheikh near one

nah, they wouldn't let Rush Limbaugh be part of the St. Louis Rams franchise

Judging how the Sheikhs manage the European soccer clubs that they own, I'm guessing that they wouldn't like the NFL being so hands on with their ownership. That's probably the only reason they haven't tried

They already own an MLS side, so I think it could definitely happen in a few years
