I seriously doubt it though. Why does Wal-Mart lose money on toothpaste? It's called a loss leader to get you into the store to hopefully buy higher margined products. Nothing wrong with that at all. So our NBA deal could be a loss leader for the generous millionaires? If so, what is the real prize? What is the real purpose for the generosity? As "Deep Throat" told Woodward and Bernstein: FOLLOW THE MONEY!!!!!! Why the media blitz and passing out flyers to churches? Why the brow beating by Mayor Mick? Why don't they just tell the people, I love OKC and I'm willing to lose millions of dollars so you can watch basketball? I would really respect them if that's the truth and would sing their praises forever. Remember, I don't get it and I don't have vision.
