Their franchise is one of the most valuable in sports. But they’re in court fighting the city over $8 million the city says the team owes from luxury boxes at Veterans Stadium. Nice.

Phil-
Please check out Gil's Blog entry from yesterday: Change in Chester?
It sounds kind of racist, like blacks can't handle anything bigger than an AM-PM mini-mart.
He goes on to defend his original post with a MORE racist comment:
"Black voters, however, remain amazingly true to their race when it comes to voting."
Tell that to Governor Lynn Swann.
Phil, you are the editor. Please exercise some editorial oversight and get Gil over to Human Resources for a refresher course on race relations.
