Harrah's is going to "make it up to the players"
Here's the promo blurb, before you get into the article:
"Last week, Steve Rosenbloom reported the exemptions for the Tournament of Champions came directly from the sponsor. However, Jeffrey Pollack, the Vice President of sports and entertainment marketing for Harrah's spoke to Rosenbloom to discuss what really happened at the Tournament of Champions. <font color="blue">Although the whole issue was due to a lack of communication,
Pollack and Harrahs are ready to make things right with the players and fans." </font>
Maybe I can't read, but I didn't find
one thing that Harrah's is planning on doing to "make things right" with anyone except themselves.
Now, while I agree with Pollack that the "missing $2M" is a joke (what does getting a sponsor's money have to do with "substituting" cash? I've never understood the source of this argument since this started), the responses from Harrah's are just classic corporate CYA.
