What a mockery, the highest bidder may not get the bid because of their politics ? Boy does this sound familiar....like wall street and its phony free market concepts. Lets just call our economical system what it is, a manipulated, rigged system, with no ethics or values, and our sports franchises are one and the same.
I certainly don't speak for all Rangers fans, but I would prefer Nolan Ryan’s group over Cuban because of his baseball pedigree. Mark Cuban is a hands on owner and that doesn’t seem to work so well with baseball.
