Make them pay up or run them out of town. We don't need them here, it's not like that's a real sport anyyway.

Great let us put it to them and watch how other money makers view Memphis! Wow..just think it will cost the city much more to go to court on this thing which will put the screws on the peoples pocket books. I like to know what happened to all those knowledgeable fools in city government that let this get by them? If King Willie knew about this his pockets would be a half million fuller!

I have to laugh when I hear that the City is contemplating suing the ONLY "Big Time" Professional Sports franchise in the City for giving away tickets. Instead on trying to tax free tickets, Memphis ought to do what they are doing in Sacremento, California, get exicited about the team sell out the arena. If the City backed the team as Sacremento is trying to do, then they would not have to sue over giving out free tickets. Suggestion, place as much emphasis supporting the team and selling out the arena as you do on criticizing the team and your tax base will increase.
