    Just think if Trump had decided to buy the Cowboys. Like so many of his businesses, he would have probably run that franchise to the ground and had to declare bankruptcy. That would have been great for Houston fans like me who have always rooted against that team from Dallas who call themselves America's Team.

    Trump's Decision to Not Buy 'Loser' Franchise for $50M Looks Worse as Cowboys Near $6B Valuation

    SPORTS DONALD TRUMP JERRY JONES DALLAS COWBOYS NFL
    Most people on the planet will say $50 million is a lot of money, even in today's market. In 1984, when real estate tycoon Donald Trump had a chance to buy the Dallas Cowboys for that price, it was the market rate—meaning it was insanely costly back then.

    The reason Trump passed on the Cowboys? He said it was a "no-win situation" for a decent return on investment (ROI).

    "I feel sorry for the poor guy who is going to buy the Dallas Cowboys," Trump said. "It's a no-win situation for him, because if he wins, well, so what, they've won through the years, and if he loses, which seems likely because they're having troubles, he'll be known to the world as a loser."

    Is there any other purchase that has appreciated faster than sports franchises?

    Even **** franchises have to be worth at least half a billion and 30 years ago were worth pennies (relatively speaking).

    Another day, another weird, obsessive thread wherein @deb4rockets assuages a rather unhealthy obsession with the former President.

    Why is this in the hangout?

    It's not a debatable topic, just Cowboys franchise ownership trivia.

    The unhealthy obsession is by the Republican Party. They love him, defend him, spread his lies, and suck up to him. Make no mistake about that. If they weren't constantly defending him and fundraising with him then I would be fine with that, and say good riddance.

    Discussing Trump is so cheug.

    It's like OP @deb4rockets had a memory lapse.

    Which alternate reality is more likely; DJT purchasing the cowboys and running it into the ground
    -or-
    Trump Lite buying your favorite team, running it into the ground and appointing Trump Lite Jr as CEO.

    Whatever dude. You probably like these birds of a feather. Ted always has to throw this crap in our faces as a Representative of our state. He is the one obsessed with your boy Trump.

    I guess. Seems you post a lot about the guy from what I have seen. He's gone and you should be happy about that yet you bring him up at every turn. Much more than his supporters here. Trying to play it off as "Cowboys trivia" is nonsense and we both know that.

    I don't care about Trump and I certainly don't want to read about him outside of the D@D. I'm sure many others feel the same

    Yeah he’s not real rich . The Atlantic City casinos weren’t really profitable.
    Jerry Jones is super rich , he owns lots of land everywhere in Texas . He who controls land controls all

    If the damn Republican party would just rid themselves of him I'd be happy. It never stops. When anyone dares to speak out against him they go crazy like they are doing with Cheney!!! If they had an ounce of integrity we could all just rid ourselves of his pull over that party and never have to hear his name again. They have chosen to back his lies. Sick really.

    Wow. The blobfish making the Donald look non-obese.
    That's one of Cruz's signature career accomplishments.
