The Donald Thinking about Buying the Cubbies

12
Vote

Donald Trump during an interview said he would be interested in purchasing the Chicago Cubs. Donald appeared on the "Mike North Morning Show" and said: "I would be interested, yeah. I think the Cubs are a great franchise, a storied franchise, an amazing franchise. It's sad to see what's happened to the Cubs, but management hasn't really done a good job over the years. I would certainly be interested in the Cubs."

Wouldn't Trump's ego just LOVE to buy away the curse of the goat...

He would turn the cubs into a reality TV show. Every week you would vote off a Cubbie. The loser would have a confessional and then cry in front of the camera. The winner would be able to touch the Donald's toupee.

WHOA...is that pic allowed to be up there? Who has more money, Steinbrenner or Trump? Wouldn't it be funny if there was a bidding war and Trump just bought out all the Yankees!

Dear Lord, hasn't Cubs fans suffered enough? I mean, Trump is a great show man, but as a businessman, he is as bad as it gets. It amazes me how he can screw shareholders every time, and still, banks are willing to bail him out. Unbelievable.

While a new owner is most definately needed for the Cubs, there is no way that the Trib will sell them. The Trib is all about making money... while the cubs may not win anything - and haven't in quiet some time, they are a VERY profitable organization... they sell out almost everyday and thier apperral (sp) is sold all over the world to millions of people every year... by the way, the Trib has already expressed that the Cubs are NOT for sale... while that may change soon (god I hope), but as of right now - no *sigh*

does anyone realize that he has been bankrupt MULTIPLE times and is not that rich, nor is he a good businessman. Donald Sterling will buy the Cibs before Donald Trump will.

Donald Trump organizes asset changes between his various companies, has large amounts of private investment pull, and could quite conceivabley organize a group to purchase the Cubs with his contacts. All of this would require him outbidding Mark Cuban, who has said many times in the past, if the Pirates, Penguins, or Cubs are ever for sale, he's extremely interested in the purchase.

Don't Cubs fans have enough to feel sad about already? It's not as if Trump isn't a modern-day Tom Yawkey - although, if he was, it'd be wicked cool - but I can't get the image of "Trump Quality" being applied to the Cubs out of my head.
