how u think they find fresh talent
Figured this could go here, about building new stadiums/arenas. http://deadspin.com/john-oliver-expl...rts-1717440394.
Or, you can just watch the video direct and not give deadspin clicks.
oh hohoho, you tell em krandor
The issue with Oliver's thing is that this is a prisoner's dilemma problem -- it only works if everyone cooperates. He doesn't really touch on the fact that there are tons of cities out there that want teams and will bend over for them. So yes, you can take a stand and refuse to give the team a new stadium, but you also have to come to terms with the fact that doing so guarantees that your city is going to lose your team.
Also, isn't it not that the owner is necessarily threatening to move the Bucks, but that part of the contract of the sale was either they had to build a new stadium within a specific window or the NBA would buy the team back and relocate it?
Yeah, and it's a lose-lose for the state. Either they lose the team or lose all that money. As far as the owner, if there's demand, why shouldn't he take advantage of it? Should owners stop talking about how much money they're losing as an organization? Sure, they should stop lying to cities/states/voters. But beyond that, can you fault them for taking advantage of the incredibly low supply and ridiculously high demand?
Yes, I can.
I see this argument all the time which basically says "They're working within the rules, can you blame them for exploiting it?"
Yes, because those same people bitch and moan when the rules are modified to prevent this kind of behavior, crying about unintentional consequences and the like. Creating some kind of excuse for unethical actions because the environment made it easy is just bad.
Fuck Tom.
NFLPA to charge Cowboys + Broncos with collusion if Dez+Demaryius dont sign long term deals
Just read the consequences:
If either Thomas or Bryant doesn't sign by Wednesday's deadline, the union would proceed with the claim and believes that a success would result in treble damages, entitling the player or players in question to triple the value of the highest current wide receiver contract on the market. Calvin Johnson of the Detroit Lions, at roughly $16.2 million per year, is the NFL's highest-paid wide receiver.
