Diddy wants to buy the NFL
Forget buying an NFL team - Sean "Diddy" Combs wants to own the entire NFL.
The music mogul, who has an estimated net worth of $820 million, announced his intentions Tuesday night on Twitter and Instagram after retweeting CNN's Keith Boykin pointing out that 70 percent of NFL players are black.
I did have a dream to own a NFL team but now my dream is to own our own league!

In 2013, Combs told Bloomberg he planned to become the "first African-American majority owner" in the NFL.
"I love sports, but I'm more of an owner type of guy, so I have aspirations to become - which it will happen - I will become the first African-American majority owner," Combs said. "Not having a small stake but actually owning an NFL team. I think it's time for that. A majority of players that are in the NFL are African-American, but there are no African-American owners. So that's one of my dreams."
