DBacks owner shakes down fans for cash at his own risk
It’s time to play “You Be The Billionaire Sports Mogul.”
Now here’s your situation.
You’ve just won the National League pennant and made it to the World Series.
Your fan base is motivated and hungry for the new season to begin.
Spring training is opening and it’s a glorious day of blue sky and Arizona sunshine.
QUESTION: What do you do next?
A) Talk about the great season that was.
B) Talk about the great season to come.
C) Muscle your fan base to fork over more money.
Hard to decide?
Did we mention you’re the principal owner of a professional sports team, which is to say you’re running an extortion racket that demands taxpayers or some other poor saps........
