"Are you happy? You're staying or not? Why did you not re up your sponsorship deals this year? Why are you cancelling a lease on one of your condos? Are you trying to make a clean break from the city?"
He asked the question multiple times, he dug way into Aldridge's personal business. That's why Alrirge had his response. He's a big enough fish in the town where everything he does is up for judgement by the public.
Honestly, I just thought the reporter was an ass to Alrdige until he got a quote.
