Here at my arena, we had a dozen or so big corporations that had signed multi-year corporate deals (sponsorships and/or advertising deals) go belly up during this recent recession. We did not sue them. I think your 'standard business practices' is a little bit of an over generalization.

How did you guys handle it?

We eventually found other companies to replace the ones we lost. It might have taken a little bit of time and in the end some of the new deals were not as sweet as the old ones we lost. But overall we are fine. Here in Houston, like Washington DC, there is money. The recession did not hit as hard as other parts of the country like Detroit. The Redskins will find people to buy their seats and if they don't maybe they are charging more than the market is willing to pay.

I agree, the Skins had so many other options besides suing that I just cant understand why they chose to fight these people and lose even when they "won".
