Times profile of Brett and Michael Yormark: in response to "opponents of the arena," twins "sniff at their critics"
Atlantic Yards Report
In an article headlined in print "Yormark Twins Put Their Marks on Nets and Panthers" and online as Twins that Look Alike, and Work Alike, the New York Times Sports section offers a predictable profile of uber-marketers Brett Yormark of the basketball Nets and Michael Yormark of the Florida Panthers hockey team.
(The article does come with an oddly dismaying photo of the twins at a Nets game, busy with their Blackberries, while Brett's children look off into the crowd.)
...Meanwhile, reporter Ken Belson, practicing "he said, she said" journalism, doesn't try to evaluate what [Daniel] Goldstein said.
Yormark has moved the goalpoasts, as I described in a January 2009 post that weaved together several statements, embedded below.
