Jets Fight Back

As if it were not already hot enough in here, the New York Jets have just published a brand new website aimed at Cablevision called JetsFightBack.com. While it is basically just a few pages and the actual text of the complaint against Cablevision it does contain a video interview with Jim Dolan in which he talks about not wanting the competition for Madison Square Garden and how he basically has a "monopoly." It is going to get rough kids, so put on your protective helmets.

"Today the Jets filed a lawsuit against Cablevision Systems Corporation, the owner of Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall, for engaging in ongoing anticompetitive behavior designed to maintain its monopoly over enclosed large-scale spectator events and private spectator suites in Manhattan - and deprive New Yorkers of the benefits of fair competition in the market.

It has become increasingly clear over the past several weeks that Cablevision will stop at nothing to defend its stranglehold on New York City’s entertainment venues. Cablevision’s egregious actions have violated Federal laws, harmed New York City consumers, and fall way outside the boundaries of common sportsmanship. From our perspective, litigation is, and always should be, a last resort, but Cablevision has crossed the line from playing tough to playing dirty – and it’s time for the Jets to fight back."
