Pssst, Nets Fans...We Wanna Ask You A Question
Fans For Fair Play wants to know if New Jersey Nets fans are really gonna continue to support their team through several lame-duck seasons in the Meadowlands, just to keep Caring Bruce happy.
Kudos to you for sticking with a fiercely mediocre team throughout the '80s and '90s.
...
In the two years before Bruce Ratner bought the team -- not 'cause he liked basketball, but simply to make his 17-skyscraper luxury-housing/office complex more lip-smacking good to New York's easily-seduced politicians -- the Nets reached the NBA Finals. Since then, it's been all early-round washouts after barely stumbling into the postseason courtesty of a pathetically weak Atlantic Division.
...The Big Question
So we ask:
Why are you still supporting the New Jersey Nets?
To Bruce Ratner, you're a cheap date and an easy lay. He's trying to woo and romance you, in fact bed you, as a stepping stone to your more-attractive roommate.
