I guess what I'm not understanding is he didn't PAY for the seats, they were given to him. I understand that the Yankee's can not sell those seats, thus there is a loss of tax not being paid for those seats.
If our country essentially punishes a fan while watching "Americas Past Time", its no wonder why so many hate Americans.
The seats were given, not earned, therefore, no tax should be applied.
Our country has too much damn litigation already.
You want money? Sue someone.
You created something, but someone else created something better, sue them.
and so on ...
I suppose that's life and even though I despise those who try to get the quick buck, I wouldn't rather live anywhere else ... I've never been anywhere else either.
Oh and since the Yankee's gave away the seats, THEY are the ones who should be responsible for paying the tax that a customer would have paid. Not the fan who received the GIFT! At least, that's the logic going by what you've folks said.
