If you think the RW's Bills are bad...


Recommended Posts

... check out the Nationals.

 

First they get DC to pony up $611 million for a new stadium. Ok, that's par for the course.

 

They have not paid rent, and currently owe a few million dollars - the city comptrollers are getting antsy. The Nats are arguing that the team offices were not finished until a few weeks into the season, and that hundreds of 'punch list' items (such as spitoons in the luxury boxes) were incomplete. The team is demanding $100,000 a day in damages, dating to March 1 - that's $13.5 million now, double their annual rent. :D

 

I'm sure there's more than meets the eye here for the team and the politicians to be airing their dirty laundry so early in the relationship, but geeez!!!
