YASNY Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 From Barry Rozner in the Daily Herald: Club Duh Hockey Thanks to several readers for directing us to blackhawkzone.com and a sickening - yet, hilarious - story about Hawks owner Bill Wirtz, who reportedly refunded a season ticket holder's money when he didn't like the tone of the note included with the fan's payment. The same billionaire who's been known to squeeze pennies from the pockets of star players, only to lose them to free agency, sent Joel Bittner back his $6,750 to teach him a lesson. So lemme get this straight: Bittner doesn't have to watch any more games; he doesn't have to beg people to take the seats for nothing, and then watch them collect dust in a drawer; he doesn't have to beat himself over the head wondering why he's helping pay Alex Zhamnov's $4 million salary; and he gets his $6,750 back. Whoa, that's some lesson Wirtz taught him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BridgeportHeather Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 Hopefully more national media sources hear about this too and do a segment on it. The more people who know $Bill is a jagoff the better. He NEEDS to be exposed. This is a start though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
