The year was 2010, and nobody can forget the natural catastrophe of the BP oil spill that impacted shore lines all across the south east corner of the United States. Among those claiming to be impacted by the spill were the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
According to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, the Buccaneers attempted to profit from the disaster by claiming their business was impacted by the oil spill nine years ago. Businesses impacted by the disaster were allowed to file a claim showing their business experienced at least a 15 percent drop in profit during the periods of May 2010-July 2010.
