nah man, its cool, this isnt debate team and im not writing an essay.

these pros took out a loan and that loan is being called in contingent on the deal going through. they obviously would like the money to go to payback US players, but they do not have a choice about how their money is used. i will pay the government money on april 15th for my taxes, i cant tell them not to spend that money fighting the war on drugs.

obviously they shouldnt pay the money to GBT if they dont end up buying FTP, but outside of that, they will owe the new owners the money.

hopefully it is just a negotiation tactic and regardless of the outcome they still buy it, but even if that is the motivation, it doesnt change the fact that this money is owed
