This is going to change pro sports forever. Mark my words. All these teams not selling out games but are winning and can't get out of their lease with their city will now buy out the lease, go to court and point to this and will win the case. Next up, Tampa Bay Rays.

They can't point to this if they settle and there's no ruling, because then there would be no precedent.

Oh , didn't know they settled. I thought the judge ruled.

There goes the closest NBA team people in Vancouver will have. Well...I guess there's always Portland.
