Dolphins, Ross introduce Estefans as minority owners

MIAMI -- Singer Gloria Estefan and her husband, producer Emilio Estefan, are bringing the Miami Sound Machine to the Miami Dolphins.

Dolphins owner Stephen Ross announced at a news conference Thursday that the Estefans are joining the NFL franchise as minority owners. Gloria Estefan says she is a "hard core" sports fan and is happy to be a part of her hometown team.

Last month, Ross also began a partnership with Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville enterprise, which includes Land Shark Lager. Buffett has yet to accept Ross' invitation to become a minority owner, but the Dolphins' stadium has been renamed Land Shark Stadium for this season.

Sell, sell, sell....

I remember how my childhood days were for the Dolphins franchise: Games in Joe Robbie stadium, Dan Marino, and the best win percentage in professional sports.

Now, we have a revolving door of naming rights, Gloria Estefan, and the "Wildcat." The Dolphins have become a billboard.

Everybody knows the Estefans are minority's, are they really that desperate for attention?  Whats next?  They're going to advertise how many black guys they have playing receiver?

This is sarcasm.  Please don't lecture how I'm a bigot and wrong cause I'm not.

This Ross guy seems like a real douchebag.

What does he expect to gain by teaming up with undertalented musical has-beens from decades past?

Turn the town into one big-gay-mirrored-ball-80's-discohall?

Also what's up with re-naming a stadium for one year only?

This guy couldn't be a bigger sellout.

Land Shark Stadium? REALLY?
