The Dodgers are drawing headlines for suing notable fans such as Jon Lovitz and film producer Steve Marlton (as well as 100 less notable ones) for breach of contract on expensive ticket packages. All the while, the team has been just giving away money, to the tune of almost $4 million, to a consulting entity that has produced little to no tangible benefit (much less any documented consulting) for the Dodgers.
Being A McCourt Kid Sounds Nice
What’s more, the team has been doling out $600,000 in annual salary to two of Frank and Jamie McCourt’s adult children. I mean, sure, your knee-jerk reaction is that it’s rank nepotism, but it has to be more complex than that, right?
[The kids’] services are undefined and could not be described by either Frank or Jamie McCourt, according to court documents filed in the couple’s divorce case.
Just because the McCourt kids are coasting on Easy Street doesn’t mean the team shouldn’t go after delinquent seat plan owners. Just that both things happening concurrently maybe isn’t best for publicity purposes. But hey, the McCourt parents are going through a messy and protracted divorce. Anyone who’s been through that as a kid knows that parents like to compensate with presents. And when you own a baseball team, that present can be a opulent lifestyle provided by the family business for nothing at all. Understand, then judge.
