Justice Department Indicts Tim Leiweke In Alleged Sports Venue Bid Rigging Scheme

If like me, you’re not sure his relationship to the Seattle Kraken, he’s leader of Oak View Group (OVG), the company that owns a majority stake (51%) in Climate Pledge Arena, the home of the Kraken. He recommended his younger brother, Tod Leiweke, for the role of CEO and president of the Kraken franchise, citing Tod’s experience and deep connection to Seattle sports. Tod is our current president and CEO of the Kraken. So we might have a crime family in charge of our team, which is fun and completely normal.
That’s cool
Read the article and it just sounds like normal business politicking to me. I’d imagine this kind of stuff goes on all the time.
If you , like me, are skeptical of anything coming out of this justice department you wonder about these charges. I will reserve judgment for now.
Well, Ron Francis did promise us an active off season…
Good, investigate it. If they did this they can rot. We owe no loyalty to them
