I will never say never on anything. But I simply do not see a pathway for them to operate a NFL team or any team in any of the major pro North American sports.

The leagues are set up so they usually have to have a 3/4 majority owner vote for new ownership groups to buy in.
Same with expansion teams.

And the media has done a good job of exposing this for what it is.
Sportswashing

Also, most of the leagues operate with a salary cap beside the MLB. So it is not like they could offer huge money deals to land the best players either.

Again, I will not outright dismiss it. But it would face significant hurdles to happen.

That is why I feel like if it happens again, it would be another sport that employs individual athletes.
That is why I keep using tennis as an example.

It is popular and has a model most similar to golf that could be replicated.

I think you guys under estimate the tolerance billionaires have for public criticism especially when billion$ are involved. Washington remained the Redskins until corporate sponsorships started to be threatened.
