Paul Allen, #6 on the list? He's the owner of the Seattle Seahawks (NFL) and The Portland Trailblazers (NBA) The trailblazers are bleeding red to the tune of $100 million per year or so. So...he's asking the taxpayers of Portland, also the taxpayers of Oregon as a whole, to "help him out" a bit. Is it any wonder that some folks have a wee sense of outrage over this?
Far as I'm concerned, the team can leave Oregon...and don't let the door slam 'em on their collective rears on the way out.
