A's Owner Urges McCourt to Sell Dodgers: Oakland A's owner Lew Wolff has become the first owner to urge Frank McCourt to sell the Los Angeles Dodgers. "My hope is that the Dodgers will be sold to a party that will restart this great franchise, and that Frank and his family will benefit from a positive sale," Wolff said. "I can't think of one owner that is not supportive of the actions taken by MLB." The Dodgers are currently in bankruptcy and battling the league over the claim that McCourt took $100 million from the team for personal use.
Selig doesn't need defending. He is doing fine on his own.
I am guessing that this is the first time anyone, anywhere has used this particular combination of words.

I can think of one owner that is not supportive of the actions taken by MLB - the McCourts. How does it help MLB and the Dodgers for people with limited involvement with the situation to keep talking? Just drop it, and let it play out. Selig doesn't need defending. He is doing fine on his own.
