Polaris922 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I highly doubt a guy like Lemieux backed by a multi-billionaire like Buerkle would just accept being a puppet for some wealthier guy. Buerkle could buy and sell Snider, I don't see him being his slave. As for the reason they want all these smaller markets... remember folks... television sells. The more markets you have, the more television markets, the more tv rights and advertisements you sell. THAT benefits all of them. And even though the Flyers are Comcast-Spectacor and just a subsidiary of Comcast, I'm sure the parent company wants to pat little Ed Snider on the head and say "You go little buddy and keep making us money in Phoenix, New Jersey, Tampa, Buffalo, or any of the other markets deemed to be hurting right now. I think some people forget these are ALL businessmen. They didn't make their millions investing in losing propositions. There's money being made, or the teams would be there.
