From the Forest City Ratner playbook: if you're not coming close to delivering on your ridiculously empty promises of jobs and affordable housing, distract the people with Jay-Z, more Jay-Z — and cheerleader tryouts!

The Brooklyn Nets last night selected a new 20-member dance team that will perform during game days beginning next season at the new Barclays Center.
Formerly known as the Nets Dancers during the club's days in New Jersey, the dance group during an event at Brooklyn Bowl in Williamsburg also revealed its new black-and-white logo -- and hot off-season uniforms.
“Brooklynettes exemplifies a strong feminine name with a creative connection to the borough,” said Petra Pope, senior vice president of Event Marketing and Community Relations for the Brooklyn Nets, in a statement. “The 20 talented dancers selected last night are diverse in their interests, global in their backgrounds, and cutting-edge in their style, just like Brooklyn. We are looking forward to weaving the innovative and unique expressions of the borough into everything we do.”
