Opponents are Anti-Olympic

New York Sports and Convention Center Opponents are Anti-Olympic -- no matter what they say: "Stadium opponents said they hoped that the litigation would push back the beginning of construction until July 6, when they expect the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to skip over New York and select Paris, the frontrunner, as host of the 2012 Games. Opponents predict that the stadium effort will then lose momentum and die said the newspaper." Merry Christmas!

Opponents are Anti-Jobs

The opponents are not only "trying to derail the New York Sports and Convention Center, but they won't stop until they have stopped the entire development of the far West Side, an area encompassing dozens of underutilized city blocks, which will create over 200,000 jobs and generate billions in new revenues for the city and state." She added that the lawsuit "is another ill-disguised and frivolous attempt by Cablevision to rehash their earlier baseless allegations." The stadium is essential to the city's bid for the 2012 Summer Olympics and expansion of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.
