I had to double check that JLN wasn't doing this response.
How about this question. Are the Cubs and the Orlando Magic partnered? The DeVos family has a minority ownership stake in the Cubs. It may not be 19% but it certainly is a good portion. Does that link make them partners?
Assuming that is true, then yes, of course.
Are you actually asking if an entity that owns a stake in another entity is a partner of that entity?
What do you think "partner" means?
So the Cubs and the Orlando Magic are partnered because the DeVos family, which owns somewhere between 1-20% of the Chicago Cubs also owns the Orlando Magic? You are going to stick with the entire Cubs organization being partners with every company that the DeVos family has an ownership stake in?
Let's take it a step further. I go and buy one share of Microsoft stock, one share of Google stock, and one share of Disney stock. Are they all now partnered? Assuming Jerry Reinsdorf owns a share in at least one of those companies, are they now partnered with the White Sox?
