New York Games: "Team Ratner is nervous"

New York Games

Brian Hatch posted two recent quotes from Bruce Ratner's Press Secretary Joe DePlasco and concludes:

Team Ratner is nervous. "Our opponents are unfairly using grassroots tactics" (as though Ratner has eschewed, for example, single-issue campaign contributions). "Our opponents are unpatriotic." One can practically see sweat on the lip.

[BTW, that 'seditious' Lethem article points out NYg's solution to the problem: "Many might like to find a way to bring a major sports team to Brooklyn (and we recall the appealing Coney Island proposal for a sports arena)."]
