Celtics sold for 6.1 billion !

6.1 billion is absolutely insane. I wonder how much the lakers and Knicks would fetch.

Celtics sold for $6.1 billion, highest price in North American sports history

The sale price is the largest for a North American franchise, topping the $6.05 billion that a group paid for the Commanders.

A legacy franchise
I don’t see how they could get that much

More than an MLB or NFL team

This is the largest sale ever for a sports franchise.

That franchise is not worth 6.1 billion in my opinion.

It doesn’t matter what our opinions are, the fact is they were sold for 6.1 billion, so the private equity guy who bought the team thought the team was worth 6.1 billion.

Blaster if someone was willing to pay 6.1 billion then they are worth 6.1 billion

Don't underestimate how popular the Celts are around here.

Time will tell if the price was "worth it."

I am glad that it wasn't FSG.

The entire NBA isn't worth 6 billion.

The valuation for the entire NBA is 138 billion. But you don’t like basketball, so that’s a pesky fact that clouds your judgement.

$138,000,000,000 for a bunch of guys running around in shorts dribbling a ball? They did it for free for years in an empty parking lot.

And he is big owner on Dodgers with 100X payroll. Eventually they spent enough to squeak by in the WC and finally win a real one. One real one since 88? Despite outspending the planet every year.

Dodgers won last year, easily beating the Yanks 4-1
They also won in 2020

Seems to be working

Regular season became sort of low attendance, bad TV & meaningless. ASG meaningless.

Playoffs still good where some teams actually try hard. Also a soap opera effect, helmet less, people like drama.

But more BLM, violence, riots and even playoffs could collapse? Values crater.

They are lucky on line gambling took off legal in most states now?

It was a dark and wet SEPT night in 2015, I joined the site....already Pro Trump since the Golden escalator ride & speech · Donald J. Trump, on June 16, 2015, Yes I had mostly dropped Rand Pau right away. Fully after 1st debate. Save the Country.

One of my first posts was in a thread about debt, spending and taxes of the FED GOVT. Before the post was even dry along came a reply....."there is plenty of money out there, the GOVT just has to go take it".....something to that effect? Too bad the search does not seem to sort backwards by time and date.....does it go that far? I remember exactly who it was.....#never forget anything. I remember being sickened that this board could as lower level as even red-commeeYahoo Sports boards or Finance. This first post and reply immediately alerted me to how sick this country really is.
