So I am a Sport Management Major and tomorrow evening we are doing a debate on PSLs. I was chosen to be on the "con side" and I am looking for some juicy stories to use.

Do you know of someone or are you someone who has maybe taken a mortgage out on their home, picked up a second job, sold their car etc. to continue to pay for your PSL tickets. I am looking for the kind of stories that will tug at the heart. I would love your help please!!! The more dramatic the story the better! Please include the team your tickets were for, possibly how much you lost etc. Also no one will know who you are I can just make up a name and it is just in front of my class of 20 people so it won't make the news or anything. Thank you again SO much.

- Sport Management Major and Football Fan!

Just google PSL lawsuits. There should be plenty out there whether it is a small business that got sucked in by the team hoopla but couldn't really afford it or just some guy who over spent and was trying to impress friends.

when gillette-stadium opened in fall/2002 [?] the pats just won the sb, the economy was crui$ing, many homes had throw-away income [aka-home-equity/lines]....all these ''inGREEDiants seemed abundant compared to = *crikket* --->TODAY<----*crikket*.

If you can't come up with an argument against them then maybe you should chose a different field of studies. I don't do childrens homework for them, unless they pay me.
