I don't know him personally. What I do know is that is completely irrelevant to my claim that he's helping to ruin the sport.
He's no different than Wal-Mart. Moves into a town, usually gets an advantage (tax breaks), defeats the local grocer with strength in numbers which in turn forces the locals to shop there, then raises the prices and has the city, state, and federal government in the palm of their hands.
And to top it off they have the camera presence of a mute with aspergers.
