Jody, please sell to Phil Knight. You've had plenty of time to show that this isn't your thing. There is nothing wrong with that. Everybody knows it's the right thing to do.

Please.

Has she?
Covid
Grieving period
Estate management of much more than the Blazers.

These things take time. And yet, in that time, other than Dame, this team has flipped almost everything into something else.
coach, gm, players. I am not sure plenty of time is a fair assessment.

good post....I think people have more trouble with the idea of a female owner than with Jody the person....she's actually done more in a short time than Paul did for his last decade at the helm. She's been at games when we were tanking...I don't get the vitriol pointed her way. Under her we've made a major change so far.
 
The allegations against Jody are reasons people don't like her. Is that fair if she didn't do what she was alleged of doing? No. And sometimes settling is the easy thing to do. However, it does make you look more suspicious when you do that. I don't think it has to do with her being a woman. I think most of us would be fine if Mackenzie Scott owned the team.

Thanks. To be clear though, if she sold to Phil Knight I would be very happy just the same. I think his connections extend much further and would benefit the Blazers more.

They settled it amongst themselves. No one else's business at that point. She was not found guilty of anything.

I have no problem with PK buying the team....just don't think that Jody has been a problem as an owner by any stretch....Paul hired Olshey...Jody fired Olshey...she cleaned house last season and doesn't blink about giving Dame an extension ...she hired Chauncey and Joe....I see no lack of leadership from the franchise these days.

I don't have anything against Jody owning the team, and I don't have anything against Phil owning the team.

If Phil buys it, though, we have to start thinking about what his estate planning is like, because Phil is no spring chicken.

That's not true at all. If the allegations are true, then she is not someone I want owning my team. Sorry.

Just because someone has money and can pay someone a high enough number to go away doesn't make something like sexual assault or harassment nobodies business.

I sure as hell wouldn't leave my kids or wife around someone who potentially sexually assaulted or harassed someone.

Breaking news, Jody Allen is unlikely to sell the team to Phil Knight ... when she said all along the team isn't for sale. Brilliant insight we're blessed with these days.

I don't care at all that she's a woman. I just want the team as far from Vulcan and Bert as possible.

Phil Knight would be a perfect owner.

I don't don't want an owner that "isn't a problem".

I want an owner who is an asset.

She's an asset...a very, very rich asset. I like that we have a female owner in a male dominated profession. People seem more offended that she has a libido than they do most rich men, that's for sure.

I don't think she's a very rich NBA owner. From everything I've heard she doesn't even have enough to buy the team outright. ***I was wrong. She's reportedly worth over $20 billion***

I'd much prefer MacKenzie Scott or Laurene Powell Jobs if we're going to have a female owner.

But we couldn't ask for a better owner than Phil Knight. He'd immediately be one of the best owners in pro sports.

I don't care to argue...she's very rich. She doesn't have to buy the team outright, she owns it now. She's not Phil Knight rich, if that's the comparison...just looked it up.....Jody Allen has 20.3 billion dollars. That'll buy a few NBA teams

Not trying to argue at all. The claim was made that people just don't like that she's a woman. That doesn't even enter the equation for me.

There are many reasons to want her to sell. It does look like she's estimated to be worth around $20 billion. That info wasn't out a few months ago and all I was finding was that she didn't have enough to buy team outright.

So it looks like she'd be among one of the wealthier of sports owners after all.

I think women in positions of power are looked at differently than say a man in the same position pretty often. I don't look at Jody any differently than I looked at her brother and I'm sure he had a history too. Jody is has not been found guilty of whatever mistake she made and I sure don't know the circumstances other than the bodyguards took the buyout. I don't know Phil Knight's or Marc Cuban's history either. I'm just saying Jody doesn't offend me as an owner.

If you operate from a position of power against someone (such as a boss or the owner's sister). That in no way is just libido.

Best to not make sexual comments to people in the work place.

agree....but that's not my point nor do I know she flirted with those guys on the clock either.

Riv, I love you, but whether it is on the clock or not does not matter. If they are your boss or the owner's sister, it is still operating from a position of power.
 
I agree...said it three times now. Don't know the circumstances nor trust the gossip though. It's wrong for her to want to fuck her bodyguards....just like it's wrong for Bill Gates to want to fuck his secretary but I'm saying a lot of billionaires probably have that in common...she just happens to be a female billionaire. I'm not interested in her personal life unless she actually hurts someone which I don't think has happened so much in these settlements....as I don't know the circumstances. Fact is,,I don't know enough to judge one way or the other. If she lost in court or was arrested.....I'd trust that situation and not want her as an owner
