the funny part is Rogers are always complaining that there loosing sooo much money with the bluejays yet they have managed to stock pile a 1.3billion dollar war chest... i know they have other income but come on! were was this money before.... how come we are forced to watch the Jays loose out on every decent player in the league because of $ but yet they have all this cash to buy MLSE...
if this happens it will be a sad day in toronto sports if u ask me.

"Lowering costs and raising profits" is largely an oxymoron. You spend money to make money. Buy the content, monopolize the distribution channel, improve the product, raise the subscription price. That's their business plan.
It's a far more advantageous plan for Raptors fans than the last regime: Buy the team, manufacture more seats, raise seat prices, sign a new broadcast deal, and then sell.
This is better for raptors fans. Albeit marginally, but better.

I'm for it since this is the best opportunity we'll ever have at getting MLSE out of the Ontario Teachers Pension Fund's cold dead hands.
Just look at what Rogers has done with the Blue Jays.
edit keep in mind that I hate Rogers and their nazist telecom service.Last edited by nubreed000; Wed Dec 1, 2010, 02:46 PM.

also "just look at what Rogers has done with the Blue Jays" is not a good way to start a marketing scheme LOL
AA has made it a bit easier on us but Rogers has done nothing with the jays.... unless u feel trading the best pitcher in the game away cause u claim u cant afford him....& u cant afford to build around him, then proceed to stock pile $ in a bidd to take over MLSE a good thing!

No, no, no. I hate Rogers with a passion. Rogers and Bell already own all of our cable/internet/cell phone options, SKYDOME, Bell Centre etc. You think OTPP has no interest in winning? Look at the Blue Jays and ask yourself what Rogers has done except p-off fans by switching games to premium channels IN THE MIDDLE OF A SEASON and playing to an empty stadium?
Fuck Rogers. Fuck em straight to hell. What we really need are teams of PEOPLE (ie Sarver/Cuban/Buss etc) with a passion in sports and winning to buy the team, NOT another faceless, heartless corporate entity that will bleed the "product" dry and then sell it on to the next boardroom.
BTW, Fuck Rogers.LET'S GO RAP-TORS!!!!!

although i was happy that Doc got his chance in the post season. It really stung to see him dominate that first game & know it wasnt for the Jays...

You have to think it's got all to do with turning a profit. Rogers executives don't get bonuses by inflating business costs, they get bonuses by lowering costs and raising profits.
