The New York Mets have once again cemented themselves as a laughable club with another losing season in 2019. What went wrong from the start?
2019 in Flushing, NY – Tickets are being bought at an irregular rate, vastly recognizable players have been acquired, New York Mets fans are excited. Meaningful additions to a 2018 team that fell short were the rallying cry of the offseason, leading most of the fanbase to believe that this quizzical franchise was headed in the proper direction.
Such ideas turned out to have been rife with folly and ultimately quixotic, as the iron wills of Fred and Jeff Wilpon outweighed reality and forged a path for their team in a direction that not many could define. They chose an agent to run their team, who made sweet-sounding promises that were impossible to keep.
Their fatal flaw is their stubbornness in refusing to look the truth in the face, rather opting for fanciful plans that will ensure money more so than success.
However, for the Wilpons success may be measured in money, it is all a business after all. You can determine if the sale of false hope is unethical, I cannot even determine if they genuinely are befuddled or simply do not care what the perception is.
The facts are what is of import and those facts indicate that instead of selling his clients to the New York Mets – his former job- he sold himself to them.
