He technically did. There was a very direct question "Does Frank receive revenue or a flat fee for use of the parking lots?" and Magic said they had already answered the question.
you don't care so the point is moot but he said frank was not profiting from anything that had to do w the team or land and that it was only on future development. thats a lie.
Everyone knows the parking revenue goes to Gugenheim. We get that. Never disputed. Magic said, "People, Frank Mccourt has nothing to do with this team. He's gone. The only money he gets is an economic interest in future developments. That's it." That's clearly a lie.
and they knew it mattered with plaschke and that caveman dude asking the question. those people that buy all those expensive seats are going to care and thats why they lied.
it's technically not a lie Magic said "he has nothing to do with this team" this payment he's getting is for potential shops, sports venues, housing, restaurants not the team
The Dodger organization was built, and thrived under character (Yes, I realize assholes have played for the Dodgers. So no reason to pull that one out of the holster). It's what we're known for. I totally care. How do I cheer for a guy who lied to me? It's hard. We'll agree to disagree.
I love you but you're not connecting the dots. The portion of the 14 million dollars going to Frank..... Is that a part of the "Shops, venues, housing, etc."...which is supposed to be THE ONLY THING HE GETS..? No. So Magic lied. It's simple.
yeah character matters a lot to me. thats why doyers deal was such a big deal for me. its a lost art but its nice to know some people still care about even the smallest of things when it comes to character. its true in business you sometimes have to live in an area you wish you didn't but not like this. i think they are actually embarrassed to a degree hearing the backlash of mccourt ass raping them. they made an imbecilic deal of major proportions.
totally agree, and i will continue to cheer. just not with my hot dog eating, beer drinking ass in a dodger stadium seat.
We're not debating the merits of character. Character matters to me too, a lot, but in people I'm friends with, or associate with. I don't care about my plumber's character though. Nor do I care about the person who's financing my favorite baseball team's character. To each their own. You guys look at baseball in a different way than I do. That's pretty clear from posting over the years. Neither of us are right or wrong, it's a matter of preference.
i still think it' not a big deal if this is frank's last laugh, so what he's not involved with the actual team anymore. just get a better lineup and farm system but maybe it's just me and a few others like VRP.
all Magic has to do is say "by team i mean day to day opperations, not parking lots as well" suddenly not a "lie"
Judging from Tubie's previous comments regarding Jamie, it was probably the opposite way around. Hahaha.
