UPI blooper
Just moments after DDDb issued their press release, UPI sent out a wire report headlined, "Jets stadium opponents turn to courts."
The report has since been corrected to read "Nets," but the "stadium" is still being used interchangeably with "arena," which makes you wonder if the UPI writers are eating their Wheaties.
NEW YORK, NY, United States (UPI) -- Community groups opposed to building an NBA arena in New York were poised Wednesday to file a lawsuit to halt the plan, The New York Post reported.
The suit seeks to stop New Jersey Nets owner Bruce Ratner, the new owner of the NBA team, from demolishing six Brooklyn buildings to make way for the $3.5 billion sports arena as well as commercial and residential skyscrapers.
The suit also asks for an independent engineering analysis of buildings that Ratner claims are danger of collapsing, the newspaper reported.
Stadium opponents claimed the building danger claim is an intimidation tactic against holdouts.
