Zeitgeist: Destitute Greece expected to pursue purchase of Arizona Coyotes

What could possibly go wrong?

ATHENS (Lighthouse Press) _ Embroiled in financial troubles and facing an $85 billion buyout from other European countries, Greece is expected to try fixing its problems by buying a majority stake in the NHL's constantly financially troubled Arizona Coyotes, according to a scathing report by TSN's Rick Westhead.

The Greek Parliament will vote Wednesday on a controversial resolution that would authorize the $200 million purchase of the team, per Westhead's report. Should the resolution pass, Greece would then require approval from eurozone leaders, the European Central Bank, the International Monetary Fund, NHL Board of Governors, INTERPOL and ultimately the Glendale City Council before finalizing the deal.
