Daily Denial
Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn is tracking the daily denials issued by Bruce Ratner, who had to drop the "H-bomb" to deny the latest slew of reports:
Another day, another Ratner denial of reports that his money-losing Nets or his floundering Atlantic Yards project are for sale.
Yesterday the Daily News reported that Ratner had been trying to unload the Nets on some investors but keep the team in the proposed Atlantic Yards arena if it's ever built. Later in the day the NY Post reported Ratner's denial of the Daily News story.
Today, after an exclusive Yahoo! Sports story reported that Ratner had been talking about selling the Nets or the Atlantic Yards project to Dubai investors or Russian investors, respectively, we get the second denial in two days.
You know the "Nets for Sale" chatter is causing serious headaches for Team Ratner because each time that talk bubbles up PR crisis managment guru Howard Rubenstein* is trotted out to deny the reports.
