False.


Folding in Baltimore-based Sinclair Broadcast Group’s American Sports Network, Stadium was born last summer.

Try again.
Your problem is you said the owners of the Sox. Jerry owns roughly 19% of the White Sox.


So he is a White Sox owner?
He is one of them.


Thank you. So we have now verified that Jerry, a White Sox owner and Chairman of the team, is in partnership with Sinclair Broadcasting.

I had to double check that JLN wasn't doing this response.

How about this question. Are the Cubs and the Orlando Magic partnered? The DeVos family has a minority ownership stake in the Cubs. It may not be 19% but it certainly is a good portion. Does that link make them partners?

Assuming that is true, then yes, of course.

Are you actually asking if an entity that owns a stake in another entity is a partner of that entity?

What do you think "partner" means?

Ok, good thread guys. Lots of hustle.

Yes, and up to 81% of White Sox owners are not in partnership with them.

I'm sure they're currently working on the Sox/Sinclar blog post. Because they are totally in the same situations.

So the Cubs and the Orlando Magic are partnered because the DeVos family, which owns somewhere between 1-20% of the Chicago Cubs also owns the Orlando Magic? You are going to stick with the entire Cubs organization being partners with every company that the DeVos family has an ownership stake in?

Let's take it a step further. I go and buy one share of Microsoft stock, one share of Google stock, and one share of Disney stock. Are they all now partnered? Assuming Jerry Reinsdorf owns a share in at least one of those companies, are they now partnered with the White Sox?

The part where you realized Jerry was also partnered with Sinclair was a highlight.
The part where you ignored the racist emails of the Ricketts' family patriarch, who's money allowed his son to buy the team, and the other right wing rhetoric his family is pushing along, was certainly the highlight of the thread. Usually you are not that purposefully ignorant.

Though FF's gif of Barkley backpedaling was also pretty good :lol:

I don't have any issues with Sinclair or Joe Ricketts emails

They don't matter to me at all.

I have not backpedaled at all so another swing and a miss from you.

If you say so. At least you tried in this thread, I'll give you that. The fire and passion was there, you just didn't have your A stuff. Happens to all of us.

Jerry literally called them a partner and a valuable one at that. Take it up with him.

But yes, owning something together is a partnership.

Everyone here can read Frank. And we all know you. Its painfully obvious that you took your Sinclair stance completely ignorant to the fact that Reinsdorf was also a partner. Your effort to come out the corner you painted yourself in was admirable.

My team is partners with Sinclair and that is fine with me. So nothing changed for me.

You seemingly have some personal stock to tale regarding Jerry's affiliation.
