What a bunch of garbage. Yeah the Rooneys survived World War 2, having to merge with the Eagles during the war, only have one patch on thier helmets instead of 2. They survived decades of being one of the worst teams in football before the 1970's and have one of the most loyal fan bases in sports and yet well that freaking Obama won.. lets sell the team. Cut off our nose to spite our face. BY GAwd that crazy socialist will probably mandate all teams make the playoffs regardless of record and forget the Superbowl we'll just hand out ribbons and orange slices. If the current Rooneys sell the team it will be the same reason Gussie Busch's kids sold the Cardinals. Lack of passionate interest.
I read the article and it doesnt say one thing about Obama or taxes. In fact it mentions that the Rooney grandkids don't "share the same passion" as thier grandfather.

It's called Capital Gaines taxes...
You schooled me. Still I find it hard to believe that taxes alone are the reason. People might sell a car because of taxes or a boat, but a professional sports team, especially one of the legendary sports teams that has been in the family 75 years. I don't see the world throwing a big ol tantrum and selling everything and live on Ramon noodles just because Obama is in the White House.
