He even made a commitment to keep them in the general region. And all these ***** ran him and his catalog of some of the greatest hits in the history of rock and roll music out of town. Same with Trump. He would have kept the team in Buffalo and wouldn't own any other teams so there would be no need to side-step established regulations.

Also now 2 owners pass away in a short period of time with Spanos and Allen 41 minutes ago, BringBackFergy said: Same with Trump.

The way I understand it is that he was allowed to own an NBA team in Portland because there is no NFL team there. If there was, he’d have been forced to divest interest in one or the other. 23 hours ago, TigerJ said: Couldn't they before now? My understanding was that NFL owners were forbidden from owning a franchise in a different sport in a different city. Jeremy Jacobs (owner of the Boston Bruins) for instance was not permitted to be a candidate to purchase the Bills unless he divested of the Bruins. The rule may have been changed to allow owners to own different teams in different sports AND cities, but I think the Pegulas have always been in the good graces of the league. Yes, they could because both teams were in the same city/market. I believe the rule only applied to owning 2 teams in cities/states that have NFL teams, which is why Jacobs would’ve had to divest interest (because of the Patriots). Quote ..... owners voted here this week to overturn the decades-old rule that prohibited cross-market ownership of professional sports leagues. That means owners of NBA, NHL, or MLB teams in other cities could now own an NFL team, or current NFL owners could purchase other teams outside of their current home market. The idea behind the rule was to keep owners, who are considered to be partners in league business, from competing for revenue within a market. But Goodell said that notion is now outdated. (Allen also owned the Portland Trail Blazers, but the rule didn’t apply in that circumstance since Portland does not have an NFL team.) https://theathletic.com/596437/2018/10/17/nfl-owners-meetings-seattle-seahawks-future-paul-allen-death/ (sub required) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes back to the early Pegula days and some posters who couldnt understand the rules regardless of how many times it had been discussed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
