Thanks for sharing.

I'll say it one more time.

You don't want Jerry for a partner because he's unethical.

The McCaskey's don't want him and they are anti-semitic.

Bob Kraft doesn't share your opinion.

He recently tried to buy an interest in the Chicago Bears, but the deal was turned down by the McCaskey family, the majority owners of the National Football League team.

The article failed to mention your central premise. That they were turned down for being Jews.

Btw, you have smeared the entire family in this thread while only naming Michael as the alleged anti-semite.

So, you are full of shit by your own postings and you posted an article that doesn't support your accusation of anti-semitism.

I'm going to bed now but can I please wake up to how I'm somehow the DUMBASS for calling you out on your bullshit?

YES OR NO

I am very sorry I didnt find a document that the mccaskeys checked the Anti semite box on the application, but you now have evidence that the mccaskeys turned down Jerrys offer to then go out and find other investors.

For a guy who claims to have tone of inside info, you sure are naive on this issue.

At the time Mike McCaskey was the chairman of the family business and did speak for the family when it came to this issue. Because you know a 5th generation McCaskey cousin who gets a check and isnt anti semitic, I will be happy to apologize to that person for smearing his/her name.

You can call it wherever you want to call it, but I gave you the quote that was given to me and I am going to call it antisemitic. And the source that gave it to me are good enough for me, but you keep digging and finding angles. Maybe bring up Robert Kraft again and call me out on my Robert Kraft info or how I called you a McCaskey, those are 2 points you have really got me on.

So NO.

I know the Mc Caskey group is very aware of religion in hiring/firing but I find it hard to believe they are bigoted AGAINST a religion. I think they want their people to be religious with a preference to catholic. I wouldn't be surprised if the Rooneys and Maras were the same way.

I would be disappointed in them if this were true.

O judgment! Thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason.

The tale begins in 1988. In order to prevent shares in the Bears from falling into unfriendly hands, the team purchased a 20% stake in the Bears from the estate of Virginia's late brother, George Halas Jr., better known as Mugs.
The deal strained Bears finances. Despite the fact that the team is a high-profile asset, it isn't a liquid one, and the McCaskeys needed cash. So, in 1990, they flipped the one-fifth stake to Patrick Ryan, chairman and CEO of insurer Aon Corp., and Andrew J. McKenna Sr., a prominent corporate director and CEO of Schwarz, a packaging and promotion company.

The "Unfriendly Hands" were Jerry R. The McCaskeys (Mike) used a ROFO to retain the shares. But then went out to find their own buyer, while preventing anyone they didnt want in the team ownership.

Never going to get PROOF of it, unless under oath and then I would have no problem asking the person that told me. For some thats what it might take.

Lets be clear, this doesnt mean they will not hire another religion, someone working for them isnt an issue.

You are getting closer to the truth. Now, who did Jerry have a deal with to buy the 20%?


Btw, You intimated here last year that the Bears wouldn't hire Trestman because he was a Jew. So I'll let the last line of your post call bullshit on itself.

I'm not the guy who claimed to have all the answers and now is somehow fumbling to find them.

Who did Jerry have an agreement with to buy the 20%?

They have a history of hiring people that are not Catholic. There present and former coaches were not Catholic.

After intimating here last year that Trestman was going to be a problem because he was Jewish.

The Old man's only real friend in the world was Sid Luckman.

I'll tryone last time. Who did Jerry have a deal with to buy the 20%?

and the fact Sid Luckman and Halas were great friends has nothing to do with it at all.

Or do you know all about that too?

How about George halas hating Ed McCaskey, nothing George Halas did is represented in the McCaskeys ownership of this team, except saving the nickels.

George's dislike of Ed is well known.

And the ROFR was set up to keep ownership of the entire team, within the family.

So for those keeping score...

Yesterday the Bears found Pat Ryan to buy the 20%.

Today, they found McKenna first, who btw, was not even mentioned yesterday. And he contacted Jerry R? It's all convuluted just a bit.

So you agree? Jerry wanted in and the McCaskeys said NO.

Thnak you for agreeing

You can't even get your story straight.

How the hell am I supposed to agree with a story that changes more often then a fashion model?

Like the way you have brought in George Halas, Sid Luckman, Bob Kraft, Trestman. All having nothing to do with it.
