Nets on the Net: 1/2/10 Edition
NetsAreScorching
by Mark Ginocchio
Apparently, feelings were hurt when a column criticizing eminent domain was published yesterday.
Political columnist George Will lashes out against the Atlantic Yards Development, and becomes the latest critic to needlessly mock the Nets basketball team when trying to put down Bruce Ratner: The Atlantic Yards nonsense was compounded when Ratner, to bolster his balance sheet after the real estate collapse, sold the Nets to a Russian billionaire, who stands to benefit from Ratner’s government-subsidized seizure of other people’s property. Those people can only hope that New York’s highest court will grant their appeal for reconsideration on the grounds that Ratner’s argument is about as good as the Nets are. Through Friday, their record was 3-29.
NoLandGrab: As of Saturday, the Nets are 3-30.
