Three teams!

[psbf]

If this was already brought up, I can't find it.
My question is, how can a city support 3 teams? I'm talking about Atlanta with the Vision(ABA), the Krunk(CBA) and the Hawks(NBA).

These fly-by-night ABA teams will not gain support ANYWHERE. It doesn't matter how well managed your team is when the league is a joke. Even well run teams will fold when they have no one to play, teams can't travel to your home games, teams have no home arenas to play in, and Uncle Joe Newman keeps on cashing checks from owners with stars in their eyes.

Now I see that a team will be playing in St. Paul in November. The "Ripknees". How can you possibly put a team together on October 1st and begin play 4 weeks later? As long as the franchise fee check clears Uncle Joes bank........come one come all!! There's a reason Joe wants 100 teams in this league...........after teams disappear, fold, go belly-up and just fade away, you still need enough teams to play in this rediculous playoff arrangement.

I thought there was a certain date that they had to have expansion teams entered by, which would exclude the St. Paul from entering until next season.
And what the are Ripknees?

Like I said, if the check clears..........your in !! Look at the ABA website, www.abalive.com and read the story about the Minnesota Ripknees. This has got to be an early April Fools Day joke !! Next, we'll see the Akron *******s and the Memphis Muffdivers join up!!

Weird. I hope things improve. They have to impose some new rules.
