Three Strikes & You're Out, McCourt, Like A Giants Fan In Your Parking Lot

Some website w/ too fucking many names concises a WSJ story about what it took for not-much-longer Dodger owner Frank McCourt to get on MLB commissioner Bud Selig's bad side.

According to Futterman, the sequence of events went something like this:

1) At the beginning of 2011, McCourt and Fox agreed on a standalone $200 million loan. Sources tell Futterman that one of the main reasons MLB commissioner Bud Selig refused to approve it is that he feared McCourt would allocate a substantial amount of the cash to personal considerations.

2) Earlier this month, McCourt and Fox agreed on a $2.5 billion, 20-year broadcast deal renewal. As part of the arrangement, McCourt would get $300 million up front, but once again, Selig said no out of concern that the money would go to places it shouldn’t.

3) McCourt then arranged a $30 million personal loan from Fox, which Selig saw as a blatant attempt by the owner to circumvent the above decrees. Three strikes, and McCourt was out.

On the field, the former Brooklyn Bums have won both games since Commissioner B.S. made his move.

Now we need a commissioner of business to get rid of the parasites sucking the blood of the rest of America's working people.
