I had to buy D&O insurance which was stupid expensive. Not only that as on officer of the Company in a regulated industry the burden you carry is greater than an average employee. I had to take numerous tests to operate and those tests are basically the Feds way of saying you know the rules and regulations, you have to prove that you followed the rules and since you passed the tests, ignorance of the law is no excuse. If I dont have physical proof i followed the law i can be fined big time and even sent to jail, including keeping all relevant correspondences, both electronic and paper for 7 years. It is like take a Texas Concealed Hand Gun license, you got next to no real rights (not already covered by the Castle Law) but the incremental legal burden on you is excessive. Well, it appears that large corporations are not being held to the same rules you are, they just pay a fine and move on doing what they always do. The “little guy” always takes it on the chin it appears.
jethro_tull Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 New Era needs to start making face masks. As for the naming of Rich it should go to a tried and true name that says Buffalo- like Labatts . 1 1

Highly recommended if you have a business. I've done it twice. ------------- Due to the Chinese virus and sports, New Era had their back against the wall and did what they had to do. Leave it to Poloncarz showboating and pandering, he strengthened the message that WNY is hostile to business. Business: no need to move to, or to stay in WNY. He was right in the first part of his presser--he should have kept his mouth shut. 1
Niagara Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 Would New Era get a rebate for or abeyance of their naming rights premium? If they would, take it and run. 1

They shouldn't be laying anyone off. PPP is used to cover eight weeks of payroll at current rates. You need to show those eight weeks to get the loan forgiven. After the eight weeks, you can do whatever you want, including laying people off.

That was gonna be my question- is he ok if New Era stops paying for the naming rights? Those rights are not as valuable today as they were a year ago.

Then they should sue whatever entity is yanking the name from the for breach of contract and treble add damages as well. Edited July 9, 2020 by RoyBatty is alive 1
ExiledInIllinois Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 Just now, RoyBatty is alive said: Then they should sue whatever entity is yanking the name from the for breach of contract and treble add damages as well. I do agree. Depends on what's in contract. Which it probably isn't.

Unless the County can declare force majeur (which no way this raises to that level), you cant put every single contingency in a contract or there would never be any contracts that are solid, hence they are meaningless. Forget about any entity p[paying millions to name a stadium going forward.

Those rights are not as valuable today as they were a year ago. Well the deal was $35 mil over 7 years. If they “stop paying” (assuming they are even paying in installments) then they are in breach of contract and of course the county can attempt to remove the name from the stadium.
