This whole contest sounds like a racket trying to get money from the Bulls. The Bulls were selling out games left and right back them. They didn't need to spend money on these contests to get butts in seats after all the money they spent on Jordan (to get butts in seats). The fact that they try to renege on the payout on any little technicality shows it's all a con.
- gamblor956 3y agoIf you had read the article, you would have learned that the purpose of the half-time contest was to keep people entertained during halftime. This is, in fact, a thing most basketball teams still do during halftimes as part of a regular halftime entertainment rotation.
- zeroonetwothree 3y agoWhy would they choose to run it then? No one forced them lol
- dfxm12 3y agoYeah, I wonder, too. There's plenty of possible reasons that involve someone in the Bulls front office having more budget than sense at best or getting a kickback at worst, but I would like to give them the benefit of the doubt. I'm sure the people selling the game gave a hard sell.
- jahewson 3y agoThe event was sponsored by Coca Cola. It earned the Bulls money.
- Kon-Peki 3y agoRight. You have a LOT of captive butts in seats. During the breaks in the game, the Sports Team can sell their eyeballs to the highest bidder. In this case it was Coca Cola and Lettuce Entertain You.
