GaussianCopula posted:I'm 99.9% sure that they will have a buy-back program where the PSL-owner either gets the "face value" (the money they originally bought them for) or, if sold via the official trade platform, the money he bought them for. I think it's extremely unlikely that they will carry over to LA. I'm sure they don't want them to carry over to LA. Question is, did their lawyers gently caress up and not give them a choice in the matter.

FuriousxGeorge posted:I've never seen much hate for New York in Philly outside of sports rivalries and reactions to dumb poo poo like this. Having one of the most amazing cities in the world and everything it has to offer a daytrip away (while not having to pay New York rent prices) is one of the benefits of living in Philly. philly is sort of a special case for city rivalries because the city most philly residents hate is philadelphia itself

Goldman Sachs knows what's actually valuable: they would sell the naming rights to someone else for what they actually love, money.

Ammanas posted:That's weirdly generous toward the chargers, idgi Kronke had to play nice since most of the owners liked Spanos more than they liked him. The reason he won is they liked money even more and Kronke looked like he'd make the league more money. So he won, but had to be nice to Spanos as part of the deal.

v2vian man posted:none of what you posted is supported by the article at all Besides the ownership stake, it absolutely is, but its all contingent on Goldman being willing to piss of Adelson and that ESPN article suggests they're going wobbly. My guess is the team involved in this didn't think that particular issue through and Adelson has called up their bosses and started issuing threats. Now, Goldman is stuck between pissing off a wealthy and powerful client or hurting their ability to have whatever non-binding "we'll totally do this" assurances they gave Davis be trusted in the future.

Ron Jeremy posted:The question is will Davis be able to pay on that amount of money. He has no collateral other than the team and if conditions occurred that he couldn't pay, would the team be worth it. Could GS even take a portion of the team in collateral within the ownership rules of the NFL. They might have to turn around and find a single buyer to take it as a distressed asset. Not a great position for them to be in. They'll probably look for league guarantees of some sort. The stadium itself is collateral as well.

Craptacular! posted:As far as I know they simply forwarded the reassuring smoke-and-mirrors Davis was making that everything is under control (while also beginning their first wave of attack pieces on the NFL for being "hypocrites" this morning, not surprising since Adelson bought paper to be his dirt-diggers and hitmen). I don't know who was making poo poo up but my first instinct would not be to just assume Goldman told the truth when not under oath.

Craptacular! posted:The Raiders would have to pay the NFL a relocation fee of $550 million, pay the $500 million they committed as part of the three-way deal, buy the four parcels for the stadium, AND convince Goldman Sachs they could pay them back $650 million through cash and assets (stadium naming rights which Goldman could sell to whoever, etc). Goldman was probably planning on selling the debt to third parties and pocketing fees.

Craptacular! posted:Can one of the people who likes football explain to someone who doesn't, why the Raiders want to pay a $550MM relocation fee to grab $750MM of taxpayer money? I get the need for a bank/local rich guy either way, but if they remained in Northern California they automatically have $550,000,000 more in their budget to build with? If someone was willing to loan me the $550m, since I don't have it, I would absolutely pay $550m to receive $750m. Why are you even asking? That's a free $200m.

Rick posted:Recreational did not pass in Arizona and it still is a red state (although early/mail ballots came in massively blue which no one expected since in the past that was all military but it looks like the college students actually used them to vote this time so Arizona is like, a true swing state which might be why McCain is so comfortably anti-trump right now). McCain just got re-elected and is probably more likely to die in his current term than seek re-election.
