The bid is headed by Los Angeles Marathon founder Bill Burke and funded in part by unidentified Chinese state-owned investment institutions and others.

I guess BladeRunner wasn’t too far off the mark. I can hardly wait for Rollerball, in real life.

What does China do? Soccer? Anything even close to the scale of US pro football?
Anyhow, who would be the sponsors. Chinese restaurants?

History’s largest communist nation just launched a bid for ownership in a major US sports franchise - despite blatant protectionist policies in China which would totally prevent any such thing there - and despite the fact profits would go *directly* to the Chinese military to arm against AMERICA - and you’re making ‘funny’ accent jokes?
Gosh. Thanks for that contribution.

America losing the future to China is funny here.

I guess that just shows you how much I care about sports franchises.
Pani et circuses for the Americans. That’s probably the only reason the Chinese want them anyway.

We are so asleep.
Seriously. China is taking our place in the world, and all we respond with is a bunch of lame jokes.
This is no joke, people.
I can’t believe what I’m reading.
