What is the heck is going on with the Warriors sale?
Ric Bucher (1:03 PM)
From what I've heard, the presumptive owners are looking for additional investors to reduce the amount of cash they actually have to put up. The problem is, they're promising zero input from the minority partners. That's the way former owner Chris Cohan ran it and no one wants to put money up to be part of that.
All credit to the fabulous Joel Creager (Nuck Chorris) of the Warriors online fan and media community for getting this important question posed to Ric Bucher. Whose sources are excellent as always.
Warriors fans and lazy, reactionary media stooges who LOUDLY assured you that "anyone will do" so long as Chris Cohan sells the team but maybe Larry Ellison isn't the best man for the job (they said all of this in MARCH, by the way) have officially been exposed as gleaming dipshit Pollyanna Homer Moron Toolz.
No Sale Anytime Soon still reigns supreme 8 months and counting after it was proclaimed.
Oldie but a goodie by Nuck on the Warriors' anti-fanopinionfreedom PR bullshit. They're still rolling with painfully awkward attempts to control fan/media access and message such as Twit Day or whatever:

Update: and now he and his Robert Rowell-run message control machine are posing in fan community chat forums as "fans" emailing casually with "new" "owner" Lacob & co.
ReplyDeleteAll the news is of course sparkling happy rainbow Everything's Fine Buy Tickets Now bullshit like Cohan era Robert Rowell life always has and always will be.
Cheers, Warriors fans- you've been had.
