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).

Tom Hicks, you’ve been scoreboarded.
