The thought crossed my mind when I was writing the post, but I didn't mention it because I was worried I was just being paranoid :) Still, it's not paranoia if they're actually out to get you.

I read it to get some idea of the history of the league's business side. Notice all the snide parasitism in the tone? MacKinnon writes simultaneously as though Balsillie should act only for the public good, and then chastises his overtures to same. The writing is so confused one wonders at MacKinnon's point. For example: <blockquote>The larger consequence if Balsillie were to succeed is that his success might trash the notion that following the league's sometimes cumbersome, flawed process of franchise acquisition makes any sense at all.</blockquote> Cumbersome, flawed, nonsensical systems should be <strong>fixed</strong>, not followed.
