Extreme Right Wing Congressman Trying to Steer Nats' Sale
[Update 6/30/05 - WaPo's Sally Jenkins from yesterday on crazy Tom Davis' rantings]No link, but from the USAToday June 28th (heretofore known as "McPaper") reported that House Government Reform committeee chair Tom Davis (R-VA) said to the newspaer Roll Call that essentially if George Soros' bid (as a minority 15% stake in the Ledecky group) is accepted, that they'll pull baseball's antitrust exemption.
"I think baseball understands the stakes... I don't think they want to get involved in the political fights... I don't think it's the Nats that get hurt. I think it's Major League Baseball that gets hurt. They enjoy all sorts of exemptions from anti-trust laws."
Gee, I'm sorry that Soros spent near $20 million to get rid of georgie porgie, but keep your ass out of baseball - you have no right there. Of course, it cannot be overlooked that Northern VA was hoping to land Les Expos. Coincidence?
