It’s called smart business. The Suns however, are terminally stupid. They shot themselves in the foot and now everyone is laughing at them.
Los Bums I think may see a drop in fans. They should give free tickets to illegal criminals of all types. They could even play games at AZ. State Prison.
Right on the money.
Celebrities and sports figures are essentially commercial enterprises. When they stand up in public and take a strong political position (either way), they risk alienating at least half of their customers.
When this story first broke, I commented that the Phoenix Suns might very well destroy their franchise because of declining ticket sales. They've taken a huge business risk, for reasons that go completely beyond their basic commercial mission. Not a good idea.
