If you click on Nets.com the link does not take you to the website of the Brooklyn Nets, instead it leads you to an Ebay listing where you can bid on the domain name. To add insult to injury the picture used is of Mark Cuban holding the Mavericks 2011 Championship trophy.
So who’s behind this? No it’s not the outspoken Dallas owner…
via CBS Sports:
The New York Times finally found her. The person who has been trolling the Nets for years with their ownership of Nets.com and the subsequent redirect of the site to websites for the Mets, the Mavericks, and other hilarious troll efforts, is a 69-year-old woman in Sante Fe and her son.
Her name is Jane Hill, and she bought the website as part of a bundle from a deal with an Internet subscriber service for $20,000. She’s demanding $5 million for it. Which is pretty reasonable. I mean, she’s seen the Nets’ roster.
So she and her son have been trolling the team forever. The Nets say they’re not going to cave to their demands, saying “Our fans know our website is BrooklynNets.com”.
Most people actually don’t know its BrooklynNets.com but hey the Russian billionaire who called $144 million pocket money looks like he has no plans on being strong armed by a 69-year old woman.
