They own Leeds, and now the Rangers, and, oh yeah, YOUR SAN FRANCISCO 49ers of SANTA CLARA very near San Jose. How does this help the Niners long term? More money good? Or more money, more problems.

So for me, more money good!

Actually winning the Championship is usually part of building a sports empire. So no they aren't building one. But they have a lot of good investments.

it's not so much the Yorks, it's el jefe, JED.
you may have noticed recently at owners meetings he checked the SB winning owner in front of everyone. you don't dismiss owners, but he sure did dismiss lurie.

I don't see that it is affecting the Niners at all. Do you think that Leeds and Rangers needed any management, and did you think that Paraag knows enough to manage a soccer team?

Meanwhile Kroenke wins the Super Bowl in February 2022, the Stanley Cup in June 2022, and the NBA finals in June 2023

It has no impact.
They will share training strategies and create advertising bundles for promotional partners. The monies funding the ops are completely separate.
