Independent Journalism in Dallas Needs You
We need to raise $12,500 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
A Friend of Unfair Park wants to make sure we know that Ellis Short — co-founder of Dallas-based Lone Star Funds, and a bigwig at locally based asset management company Kitano Capital — is no longer partial owner of the Premier League’s Sunderland club (otherwise known as The Black Cats). Nope — as of today, he owns the whole dang thing. Which means Short now owns a soccer team and the castle where Madonna got hitched to Guy Ritchie and where Ashley Judd married Dario Franchitti. Tom Hicks, you’ve been scoreboarded.
