Jerry Reinsdorf should consider selling the White Sox to Barack Obama, who loves sports and has interest in team ownership.
for the White Sox 2021 divisional series playoff game. Some in the crowd booed him, but the rest of us were ecstatic.Editorial: The South Siders are considering pulling up stakes and heading out of town. Et tu, White Sox?What person with a competitive streak wouldn’t enjoy an ownership stake? Taking on a 162-game season with co-investors must be more fun than bailing out the auto industry or pulling out of Iraq.
Obama and company would keep the team on the South Side. Crain’s recently broke the news that the team is considering moving from 35th and Shields — a clear leverage play by Reinsdorf. Under Obama and his fellow owners, the Sox would not only stay on the correct side of the city but also within the city. The South Side helped make the former president.
Obama wouldn’t have to do this alone or even fork over the biggest bag. He has friends for that. But he could represent an idea beyond baseball. Owning a team brings partners together over a shared goal. If done right, a team is a vehicle of public service, not private greed. For more than a century, the White Sox have provided fans with a sanctuary of feelings to escape our daily concerns.
