Frank McCourt says baseball commissioner Bud Selig’s appointment of a representative to oversee the day-to-day operations of the Dodgers is “un-American.”
Actually, judging from recent corporate history, a person in authority acting to prevent a business train wreck IS rather un-American. So, from one perspective, McCourt is right.
On the other hand, getting irresponsibly leveraged in order to buy a business you can’t afford? American.
Putting relatives on you payroll but not asking them to work? American.
Siphoning money from your company to support a lavish lifestyle? American.
Causing more financial instability by pursuing a very dirty and very public divorce? American.
All of which makes Frank McCourt very American, indeed.
