(i)  Clearly he seems intent on doing so and he certainly has the pocketbook to pull it off.

(ii)  LOL....what a massive load of bovine dung.

(iii)  Wait 10 minutes.....then you won't have to stand on line!

U mad bro?  MLS is coming to town and nothing you can do about it

Oh no, suits me just fine. 

We'll see how long it lasts....businesses that only lose money eventually cease operations. 

By your statement earlier, the Chicago Fire should have ceased operations when? If they’ve lost money every year (which they have been poorly ran), how could they sustain since 1996 by your statement? 

The league is growing, and the right way this time compared to previous expansions back in the 90’s. The average team costs now $150 million to start and the average team is worth $240 million now.

Didn't realize people got so triggered by soccer.

"This is 'merica dammit and we don't do stuff that other countries do. They copy us. We don't copy them because they're all morons and we've got the only stuff worth anything."

Or something like that.

(i) The previous owner saw it as a hobby and absorbed the losses/pain to his max threshold, and then sold that dog.  He found a new sucker...err owner...to hand the losses over to...only time will tell as to how long that owner is willing to absorb losses/pain.

(ii)  Are you familiar with WeWork?  Similar dynamic in play here....

I love to have a soccer team but I really wish Tepper would worry more about the Panthers

Successful hedge fund managers by definition have to be accomplished multi taskers.  I don't really give a poo about getting an MLS team and I'm not remotely worried this is keeping him from focusing on the Panthers. Compared to the information they often need to juggle in their head in real time about the markets, this is nothing, don't sweat it.
