Putting food on dinner tables is not an issue. Power is the issue. The Lerners don't need any money. It's about getting the best possible deal for your business.
If that is the downside, bring it on. Justice is worth no All-Star game, which we aren't getting anytime soon.
My impression is that everyone will want to side with the Nats on this. It just makes too much sense for everyone other than Peter Angelos to get the Nats what they deserve.
You've made lots of good points and I agree with you on what would be fair to the Nats. I don't think the ultimate outcome, however, will be fair to the Nats. I think the 'three team aribtration panel' or whatever they are calling it will come with something that offers some value to both owners and that they think is 'good for baseball' (basically something that would avoid lawsuits).
