Coyotes Fighting: A War On Many Fronts June 19, 2009

As pointed out by a long time and valued member of the Jetsowner.com forum this week, there is a troubling number of news stories that have come out that are related to the fight for the Coyotes.The member offers a candid explanation for some of the news stories and how they might be related to each other. “Just seems ironic that a group involved with the CFL gets exposed as a troubled team financially; and the same guys are stating their interest in an NHL team. This is Tom Wright the CFL commish (at the time of the money loan) giving Ballsy some tips on how to make your competition look a bit weaker.” The post goes further and says, “Why would someone expose this NOW when it happened so long ago?” This is in reference to the Toronto Argos co-owners David Cynamon and Howard Sokolowski secret loan from David Braley, the BC Lions owner, of roughly half of the sale price of $2 million, ironically also out of bankruptcy, to complete the purchase of their team. These same two gentlemen are one of four groups supposedly interested in buying the Coyotes and wanting to keep them in Phoenix as Gary Bettman has indicated.The fans and the media would be wildly Offside to believe any of these stories without first putting them through a reality check. more »
