To the other discussion points, no, I can't make a comparison because I truly believe that professional sports is not a parallel business to your standard business. As I believe they are not parallel, the comparison you want me to find in Calgary doesn't exist.

That was the other reason that I suggested you didn't like that sports is a different business than a standard company (though you didn't like that I made the assumption).

Anyway, clearly one of the key differences to our points of view...
What in your view makes professional sports so different from other businesses? I’m not saying you’re wrong, I’m just curious as to what makes you believe it is impossible to make any comparison between them?
