The same one thats treats its employees like crap, overworks and underpays them. The that could care less about the fans, the community and anything that gets in their way of making more money ?

The one that LIED to its ECHL affilliate and then refused to let them sign a second affiliate deal to get some players with another team. The one that controls the merchandise and concessions and wont let the teams make their own decisions on such matters ?

YEP thats the one

Higher fees?
I know I can fwd my tix to anyone for free. The only fee I pay is 15 bucks for the season, and get about a 30% discount, per seat, comparing to ticketmaster face value. Notbto mention the drastic savings come playoffs.
I know one AEG employee, and he could not be happier.

Sounds like any other ownership group out there other than Mark Cuban. Just about every retail/service employee is going to claim being overworked and underpaid, I would know, I did that crap for five years

Does it make me racist that I don't want the Qatar Sovereign Fund buying AEG?

Depends on your reason.

I already don't enjoy knowing that my money and enthusiasm is supporting a gigantic mega-corporation that presumably does who knows what all over the globe... it would make me that much more uncomfortable knowing that my money and enthusiasm were supporting a foreign government and their activities all over the globe.

And I know I know... my measly little spit of change that I throw to the Kings each year is hardly going to make or break AEG or Qatar... it just... idk.... skeeves me out.
