The NY Jets football team seems to have lost the services of Brett Favre, you know, the guy who retires every year from somewhere only to reemerge in a situation for more money. Mr. Favre and the Jets are now shoulder-pads deep in litigation brought by female masseuses regarding some inappropriate and unwelcomed camera phone messages and general sexual harassment in the work place.
I'm all for earning a living at what you do so I'm pretty sympathetic to these women. Common sense tells me that being a masseuse for a pro football team comprised of rich, spoiled, hot-house tomatoes would be ripe for hormonal expressions and common sense also tells me that some banter was probably the rule of thumb. Some banter. Not this.
The underlying story here is this: Jet tickets to attend games sell for about $200-$700 per seat per game (mandatory pre-season games in the package) and you get to pay a premium and actually finance a 5 year deal. Taking your wife and two kids to the Jets in the cheap seats with a couple take-aways and halftime food, parking will set you back a $1,000 bucks. The cheap seats mind you. Here is the seating chart. Knock yourself out.
Why so much we might ask? 50,000 seats x's $200/seat is $10 million if all the seats were cheap x's 10+ home games....lotsa money. Lots. Well there are expenses. Like masseuses and litigation.
I see deep pockets.
