Frank McCourt divorcing his wife, bankrupting the Dodgers, then selling the team for an 860 million dollar profit. TFM.

    You clearly have no understanding of A) how divorce law works. B) what inflation is. C) The cost of running a baseball team. D) The amount of money put into the ball club. E) The tax system. F)What net profit is. G) That the state owns their stadium so part of the profit goes back to the state. H) you are a fucking idiot.

      The amount of trying here is a substantial bit more than was warranted by the original post.

      The state of CA does not own the stadium, the Dodgers do. Dodger stadium is one of only two ballparks in the modern era that was built entirely with private money (the other is AT&T Park) and is wholly-owned by the team.

      Nice try idiot. One San Fran subsidized the field after the owners money was taken during the Madoff scandal. The only team in the MLB to actually own its stadium is St. Louis. Dodgers field along with the teams worth was put under control of the city after the team was bankrupted. Nice try though, don’t try to talk sports if you don’t want to get hazed.

      ^Wow, you are BEYOND retarded.
      1) AT&T Park (originally Pacific Bell Park) was completed in 2000, eight years before the Madoff scheme imploded. The stadium was built solely with private money and is owned by China Basin Corp, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary corporation of the Giants ballclub.
      2) The METS ownership, not the Giants, were the ones who got taken in the Madoff scheme.
      3) Busch Stadium was not built entirely with private money. About 15% of the cost was paid for with a bond issue from St. Louis County.
      4) Dodger Stadium was put into temporary receivership by a FEDERAL (not City) court as part of the bankruptcy proceedings until a new owner was found, which has now been done. It is not owned or controlled by the City of Los Angeles – it was under temporary management by a court-appointed steward and is the property of the Dodgers and their new owners.

      ^ lynchem – carolina’s points are correct. Anyone who follows baseball news at all would know that. Why don’t you sit the next couple plays out, champ.

      Lynchem, even if anyone believed your bullshit claim about playing for Rice, it doesn’t mean you know fuck-all about sports finance. You’re the definition of tryhard – keep running.

      No this site is the example of try hard and so are you. Trying to sound like some fucking lawyer and bragging about daddys money that you didn’t earn. So you are the try hard. Btw you can look me up my name is JT Chargois.

      1) he never said anything about his money. 2) if you don’t follow sports, how you have managed to fool yourself into thinking you have an argument for this long, is a feat in itself. 3) this is a comedy website so it’s pointless. 4) I’m debating on using an ERA joke or a slugging percentage joke.

      totaloldmoneymove is his name, so last time I checked he would be bragging about his money. But I forgot everyone on TFM is old money. And you clearly don’t know anything about baseball minus what you see on ESPN, go back to being an un-athletic fat fuck and enjoy beating your meat to videos of PIKE.

      Well if you ever played a real sport you would know that the bill is to keep the sun out of your eyes. I’m not playing golf so blow me queer. Btw love to see you step into the box and hit a shot.

      How can you call someone a queer after you’re the one requesting he put his mouth on your penis?

    What is he going to do, go to Mexico and spend it on a shit load of tequilla, coke, and whores? Because I hear he owes most, if not all of that money.
