I cant get the quote at the moment but this is another reason I say the article is muckraking. The article points out about 12 teams, or 1/3 of the league that state they don't take this action, but makes a general point that other franchises declined to answer the question. If they do quick court checks, they could probably find out how many other franchises do conduct lawsuits out of the other 2/3 of the league. Perhaps they had a deadline, or were lazy, OR perhaps finding out that 60% of the teams do in fact invoke court action would have taken some of the steam out of the story.
I am jousting at windmills, would it be warm and fuzzy if they just wrote off the debt yes, could they afford to, on most probably, but is it the end of the world evil business that they don't, I personally don't see it that way.
