Anthony, If you are going to make assertions about the profitability of the Pacers, or the lack thereof, you need to back your assertions up with hard numbers. Regurgitating Jim Morris' talking points is not reporting. To my knowledge, the Pacers have never publicly released audited financial statements for the franchise or Pacers Sports & Entertainment. Yet you reports Morris' talking points as if they are fact. If you are going to rely on his assertions without independent verification, then you should make that clear in your reporting. Don't report something as fact that you have not independently verified. Anyone familiar with how the Simons conduct business knows that they didn't become billionaries by continuing to operate businesses that lose money year after year. If a mall is losing money, they shutter the doors and stop the bleeding. If it truly was the money loser Morris claims it is, Herb wouldn't have quickly snatched up Mel's 50% stake when he died from his estate. Have you tried to ascertain how much Herb paid for Mel's 50% stake? That would be a piece of information your readers would be interested in knowing.
