jr79 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Well that's the story doing the rounds of English and Dallas-area newspapers today after a proposed takeover by Sheik Makhtoum of Dubai collapsed.Anyone able to give me some background on Tom Hicks and George Gillett beyond the regular stuff you read in biogs?

EatSleepJeep Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Tom Hicks is a big time Republican crusader with his wallet. He owns the Stars and Rangers and some rodeo thingy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leedsunited Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Gillett is from Colorado (i believe) and owns the Bell Centre as well. Hands off as you can get from an owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitedawg22 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I think we should strike back at the Euros getting to name all our MLS teams things like Real Salt Lake, DC United, Chivas, FC Dallas, and the Colorado Arsenal and rename this something tackily American. Here are my top 5 ideas:-Liverpool SkyForce-Liverpool Starzz-Liverpool ThunderBears-Liverpool Xtreme-Liverpool Yard DawgzIn any case, it's essential that the name be singular, contain misplaced z's or x's, or combine several words into a single word with multiple capital letters. oh ,my god ,i strong recommend you to have a visit on the website ,or if i'm the president ,i would have an barceque with the anthor of the articel .

Geoff Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 You mean the Colorado Rapids? Yeah I can see how that would be confused with Colorado Arsenal.Also, the Europeans didn't name RSL, DCU, or FC Dallas. Thise were Americans. And Chivas is Mexican, you're thinking of Chivas USA.EDIT: I just saw where the Rapids might become the Colorado Arsenal, my bad. But, the rest still stands.
