HOLLANDER V. SULLIVAN

ISSUE: “Can a real New Yorker root for the Nets?”

NY Press
By Dave Hollander and C.J. Sullivan

A point-counterpoint-style debate on whether or not the Nets can or will ever be a real NY team.

HOLLANDER: Not only are they a legitimate rooting interest for New Yorkers, but the Nets are actually more New York than the Knicks.

SULLIVAN: Ratner is only involved with the Nets so he can make a land grab in Brooklyn. He has no emotional stake in the Nets and will dump them once he gets the real estate he cravenly desires.

The debate covers more ground than the footprint of Atlantic Yards, so check it out here.
