This is how sport will die. One dollar at a time

You would think with the current financial debacle going on that some people would learn. But no.

Apparently, the English Premier League sees no dangers in teams engaging in the sorts of financial shenanigans that have brought many British banks to a sticky end. (Well, not quite an end, but nationalisation is pretty bloody close.)

It’s not like you have to look too hard for examples in other sports as to how things can go horribly wrong.

If that doesn’t convince you, I’d like to remind people who Manchester United’s jersey sponsor used to be.

Yes, Hamilton is brilliant and a future (maybe even this year) champion, but let’s try to be a little objective guys.
