When I said funny money I was referring to inflated $$ values attached to 1) attendance at box seat sporting events, and 2) frequent flyer miles which were accepted by Mike Espy according to that frontline expose. If hes corrupt, hes corrupt, but to represent a box seat sporting event as equivalent to $1K or whatever is not entirely honest... ff miles and unused box seats I consider funny money, thats where it came from. You said it was real money, ok but how much? An unused box seat - $50. max.

Although you specifically addressed seats at sporting events, the second half of your posting did have an all-inclusive "feel" to it.

BTW, why should we limit it to sporting events? What about the seats at the Metropolitan Opera paid for by corporations to support the opera? Yes, they pay far more as sponsors, but a "bennie" is the seats, which are sometimes used to benefit employees and sometimes used for business purposes--although the setting is entirely "social."
