Absolutely (for us… hopefully Whitecaps FC stays in Vancouver as well)! GO SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES!!! -G
Your Google machine broken? If any names other than Joe Lacob have surfaced from any even remotely credible source, I am not aware of it and I've been keeping tabs.
These three are still the only names we’ve publicly heard rumors of, but there may be (and likely are) some other candidates as well. GO SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES!!! -G
I also saw those names on AI. Hasso Plattner, sole owner of Sharks Sports & Entertainment (SSE), which in turn owns the San Jose Sharks and operates the SAP Center at San José. Joe Lacob, co-principal owner (along with Peter Guber) of GSW Sports LLC, which in turn owns the Golden State Warriors, the Golden State Valkyries and Chase Center. The York Family, particularly Jed York, principal owner and CEO of the San Francisco 49ers. Does this mean AI is telling the truth?
Depending on which tool, it actually reads and repeats the BS we WRITE. Redit is often a source. SMH.
Yeah, we should post lots of crap in BS (I.e., more than we normally do) and see how soon AI starts repeating it.
The best is when I see something on reddit I find questionable so I do a search and the AI summary confirms it with the source being the reddit page I was just on and questioning.

Of the three known rumored ownership candidates, maybe Hasso Plattner would be the most ideal fit? The only real worry is his age (he’s currently 82), but I’d imagine that he’d have a contingency succession plan for Earthquakes ownership like he must have with the Sharks, right? GO SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES!!! -G
He apparently has two daughters, but neither of them are involved with the Sharks. GO SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES!!! -G
Does he have a #2? A top lieutenant? A first assistant? A right-hand person? I'm not enthused about rich old geezers. (For the record, I am past retirement age, so not a spring chicken.) Go Quakesfans!!
I’m older than RottenFish!! I’m even older than @Goodsport!! So no offense to old people, but I’m not enthused about a guy in his 80’s buying OUR team!! Go Quakesfans!!
I think I oppose Plattner on the grounds that the sharks have gone completely downhill under his ownership. Altho, I know nothing about the sharks… I leave it to Donnie to tell us how bad off we would be if Plattner bought the quakes.
