Hockeytown? More like Hockey HELL.
Ten straight seasons without a playoff appearance. Steve Yzerman out. Dylan Larkin getting booed. Empty seats. Angry fans. And billionaire Chris Ilitch wants everybody to know he feels their pain.
Give us a break, Chris.
Charlie LeDuff unloads on the Red Wings owner and exposes what he calls one of Detroit’s biggest taxpayer-funded rip-offs.
While fans suffer through another season of excuses, Charlie follows the money behind Little Caesars Arena — from hundreds of millions in public financing to parking, concessions, concerts, and the entertainment empire of Ilitch and fellow billionaire Tom Gores.
Charlie argues the taxpayers are stuck with the bill while the billionaires pocket the profits.
And here’s the kicker: With all that money rolling in, the Red Wings still can’t put a winning team on the ice.
Enough excuses. Enough corporate bullshit. SELL THE TEAM, CHRIS!
