5 dollars says their basketball arena is nothing compared to what is being asked for here.

We're talking overall here, not everyone cares about sports.

I understand. Just kiss your sports teams goodbye and dont say you weren't warned. If they end up leaving, i dont wanna hear any bitching from the peanut gallery about it.

Like i said, Chargers fans said the saaaaame exact shit. You shoulda heard them pouting afterwards.

Like 80%+ of TV households in KC watch Chiefs games on average… the “not everyone cares about sports” group is a small segment of the population based on those metrics.

It'd be amazing if you knew what you were talking about occasionally.

I'm not versed in what's going on with ya'lls stadium situation, but everything i've read so far is exactly like the situation in San Diego.

And the same arguments Mecca and Zach are making were also made here.

"We don't want to give money to billionaires".

You're focused on the wrong thing. Your tax money is going to billionaires regardless. This isn't about saving you tax money, fools. This is about which special project GETS your tax money.

You can bet your ass you will be paying that tax in something else.

In San Diego, politicians and non-sports fans aligned to lead the public to believe that the hotel tax that the Chargers wanted to fund the stadium was about billioniares.

That was a lie. It was about ANOTHER project those politicians wanted to fund. The Convention Center remodel.

In the end, San Diego said "No" to using that hotel tax to build a stadium. The Chargers left.

Later, the city approved a new hotel tax to fund the remodel of the Convention Center as they wanted to invest in keeping Comic-Con in town. New pedestrian bridges that no one wanted etc.

And you know what happened after that? Covid hit. And Comic-Con was basically canceled and reduced to a shell of its former self.

Take a ****ing history lesson, before you're doomed to repeat it.

Quit the bullshit, it's not about billionaires. It's about which special project you WILL eventually be paying for.

The stadiums are city buildings not the billionaire's buildings.
