Balmer sees Clippers as ‘America’s team’
Steve Balmer is bizarre. He has just invested 20% of his 20 billion dollars in wealth. That money is likely a tax dodge. He is never going to make a profit but gets to have a toy to please his ego at the expense of a public who gets to give him tax breaks for his toy. Microsoft’s shareholders have been there before.
Worse, he still sounds like the former MS executive whose Frankenstein-like ads were a great disservice to the company. Until now we shareholders and Seattle folks may have wondered about the lack of judgment Balmer showed in his decision making … buying Nokia, stupid ads for the Surface, dissing the iPAD.
