There is a way out of this for Abe Pollin (besides a bus ticket to Duluth). Put a team on the floor that people want to watch.

A week later, the stunning way Pollin whacked Michael Jordan last week is still the talk of the town. And it will continue to be for quite some time. The one sure way to make the rancor go away is to give people a reason to leave it all behind. And that is by giving them something to cheer for.
