“I realized that if I saved an additional half million by not paying staff that I could get closer to by dream of eclipsing Louis E. Eliasberg’s coin collection,” stated Hansen to The Nutmeg News. “I personally went out of my way to tell all the families that depend upon their paycheck for the teams that I own that their lives are really meaningless next to my desire to become the all-time greatest collector of vintage U.S. coins.”

Hansen reportedly slashed salaries for employees of all the soccer teams he owns in a bold move that shows that any of us can really chase our dreams if we don’t give a shit about the people we trample to get there. It’s the American dream.

“How could I live my life knowing that I passed up a great opportunity to acquire a 1933 Saint-Gaudens $20 gold coin if I just furloughed a few people who make $60,000 a year. What kind of example would I set for other billionaires if I thought about my employees at this time.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Hansen acts like a great benefactor by offering a furlough option.
