Washington Nationals are so desperate for fans, they are sending free tickets to criminals

Found this passage in the article about the Redskins. I thought it was hilarious. You're in jail for embezzlement? Here has some free Washington National's tickets! (and I thought there was a constitutional ban and cruel and unusual punishment):rofl:


In 2006, Jorge R. Vasquez Sr., 47, was in jail for embezzlement and wrote to both the Washington Nationals and the Redskins to say he could no longer keep his tickets. He had three loge seats at FedEx and a six-year contract that began in 2003.

The baseball team wrote back to offer him free tickets, according to a letter he sent to the court. The Redskins sued him $12,914.
