Spreedizzle 1 Report post Posted November 9, 2007 "But everyone in the industry knows that Nike overpaid for the assets, based on a miscalculation of the future market for in-line skating and of hockey's growth prospects in the United States."While apparently obvious....still a dagger in my heart for a sport so beloved.
