Truly great quotes need no explanation or commentary. Today’s quote of the day comes from disgraced Dodger owner, Frank McCourt. Upon filing the Dodgers for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, he provided this explanation behind his actions.
“I simply cannot allow the Commissioner to knowingly and intentionally be in a position to expose the Dodgers to financial risk any longer.”
While I could easily make an incredibly snarky comment here, I’m going to abstain because it stands up pretty well on it’s own. Instead, I’ll let you revel in it’s beauty, and merely refer you to this brilliant article written by Larry Behrendt of It’s About the Money Stupid, and Josh Fisher’s Dodger Divorce blog as exhibits A and B in the case condemning McCourt.
Hat tip to Craig Calcaterra of NBC’s Hardball Talk for reading through the lengthy statement released by McCourt earlier today containing this nugget of comedy gold.
