Money boom in sports unrealistically praised by Hunt
New York AP Lamar Hunt called the money surge in major sports totally unrealistic while noting a $3 million contract for David Thompson with the Denver Nuggets of the ABA. He warned the ABA must move to large arenas for top competition and questioned how WFL and World Team Tennis can handle big contracts. Hunt, heir to a Texas oil fortune, owns the Chiefs and bankrolls WCT, predicting a breaking point amid mushrooming franchises and salaries. He also criticized Pete’s soccer deal with New York and questioned how many superstars the market can sustain.
