The Dallas Cowboys hit another major milestone on Monday.
According to Front Office Sports, they became the first NFL team to be worth $8 billion. That’s what happens when you’re known as “America’s Team.”
Back in the 1980s, former President Donald trump nearly bought the franchise but backed out of the deal. He ended up purchasing a USFL franchise that disbanded in two years.
He ended up saying at the time that the person who buys the Cowboys would wind up being a loser.
“I feel sorry for the poor guy who is going to buy the Cowboys. He’ll be known to the world as a loser,” Trump said.
Jerry Jones bought the team in 1989 for $140 million and is most certainly not a loser. He’s one of the richest NFL owners on the planet.
This take from Trump will go down as one that aged like milk.
