Last year things weren't so good for the Miami Heat; the team went 15-67 and superstar Dwayne Wade was injured for much of the season. Now that Wade is healthy and the team has a winning record, the Heat's problems have shifted off-the-court, namely in the form of season ticket holders and advertisers who aren't paying up for their prime seats. According to the Herald, "The Heat...which operates the AmericanAirlines Arena, have filed 16 lawsuits in the past year against companies and people they claim owe about $1.6 million -- if not more. At least a few of the cases have been resolved. Real estate developers, realty firms, a mortgage lender, investment companies and a restaurant group are among those targeted by the Heat." Legal scholars will take interest or great amusement in the following defense: "Some of those being sued by the Heat are making an unusual defense for why they didn't pay in full: The team was lousy last season."Tuesday, January 13, 2009
