Talk About Your Worthless Gestures
How does Warriors star Jason Richardson solemnly give thanks for his good fortune after a year in which he pulled in just under $9 million to play for the perennial cellar-dwellers this year? I'm like you, I thought by giving a bunch of money to a deserving charity. Again, I was wrong. Instead he spends some large amount of money taking out full-page ads in local papers to simultaneously thank and apologize to the fans. However, we don't know exactly how much, as Inspector Lepper never really nailed it down.
Monday, he gave some $50,000 or more back in a show of appreciation to Golden State's fan base....
Rowell wouldn't specify exactly how much the ads cost, although he did say it was "over $100,000," split between Richardson and the team.
What the fuck is stopping you from asking newspapers in the area how much their ad space costs per page? Or asking your own paper and then making some sort of educated guess based on that figure? Lepper's refusal to do any actual work in connection with his "articles" is appalling. Speaking of which, Golden State's last game of the year is in Utah on Wednesday. Want to take a shot at guessing who won't be there?
Several of the Warriors didn't know anything about the ad they had signed, but Rowell thought that was by Richardson's design.
"That's kind of Jason's style," Rowell said. "As a captain of the team, he's representing all his guys. That's what a good leader does, pulls everyone up with them, and that's Jason. That's been Jason ever since he's been in a Warrior uniform."
No, it's not. It's doing something unilaterally and then taking all the credit for it, tricking dumb writers into thinking you did something classy and nice. I was as shocked as you were, dear reader, to learn that Lepper took the bait.
Again, seriously, plenty of charities out there. Fifty large could have made a difference.
