Are you aware that by using the name Frank McCourt you can come up with dozens upon dozens of other words? Most notably (and, well, PG enough to post) include “crock, amok and mock.”
Fitting, wouldn’t you agree?
Most people living around LA think of McCourt as a crock who has run amok all over this team and turned the franchise into a mockery.
As it stands today, he is still the owner of the Dodgers. There are nine prospective buyers left on the market for the team, any of whom would be foolish to agree with McCourt’s latest shenanigans.
In case you haven’t heard, McCourt insists upon selling the team and the stadium, but keeping all of the surrounding parking lots. Really? I understand there are a lot of wealthy potential buyers (I’m looking at you, Steve Cohen) but the idea of letting McCourt have his finger in anything associated with the Dodgers whatsoever at this point is asinine.
It really is hard to imagine a more hated man in greater Los Angeles than Frank McCourt. In a piece by Steve Dilbeck in the Los Angeles Times, Dilbeck points out the fact that if McCourt muddies up this deal any more than he already has, the fans will boycott the team once again in large numbers.
More power to them.
Is it a bad situation for the players? Certainly.
Is it worse for the fans? You bet it is.
Dodgers fans are diehards and passionate about their ballclub. They don’t deserve an owner like Frank McCourt, a man that is so wrapped up in himself he can’t see the forest for the trees.
Believe it or not, this ordeal will come to an end sooner or later. It has to. The question is, how much more can Dodgers fans take?
