Titans Poised to Receive $1.26 Billion in Public Funds for Stadium Pay Up Plebs

[NotBradNotChad]

Your tax dollars are literally going to build BBC shrines.

[northernlights7]

Sports teams are literally a government endorsed monopoly. They get all kinds of legal protections and exceptions no other business enjoys.

The fact that we then allow the gold hoarding dragon owners to turn right around and fleece the taxpayers is lol. Strong capitalism.

I'm not disagreeing with you on that. I was just saying, I don't think peoples' general approval of tax money going to fund stadiums for pro teams had a ton to do with their politics. Their level of fanhood, or disinterest in it, seemed to have a much bigger impact on their opinion of the matter when it happened here.

Have a firm hand shake and show up early youll be in the big leagues in no time kid

Only if your resume is printed on thick card stock, boyo.

[whitepaper]

nothing wrong with this.

it feeds back into the economy

[desslok]

Maybe they can spend some of that money to put concessions all around the stadium instead of just behind the end zones. Current Stadium sucks.

Imagine spending your tax money on a stadium just so they can sell you a $20 hot dog and $15 beer to wash it down

Oy vey that could be going to Ukraine or israel

people laugh at oakland for losing 3 teams in this decade so far. Oakland government may be full of libtards but at least they resisted the urge to fork over billions

The mariners stadium was built in 1999 and the locals were taxed for 20 years to pay for it.

The team made the playoffs one time in that span and lost 1st round lol. Absolute fleece job by Mr. Nintendo srs.

Same chit here in San Diego. The Chargers' stadium hit its sell-by date (it was 50 years old IIRC). The owner asked the city for $300M in welfare to replace it, the city put it up to a vote, and the vote failed.

The city sold the stadium site to SDSU and they built a 40k seat football stadium on the grounds.

“It has been honor to serve as chairman and CEO of the Seattle Mariners for the past 17 years,” Lincoln said Wednesday during a news conference at Safeco Field. “After the sale is closed, I look forward to continuing on as a member of our ownership group and representing Nintendo of America as a minority shareholder.”

Once the sale is finalized, Lincoln’s daily duties will be that of a retired grandfather. At 76, he has given more than 30 years of his day-to-day life to Nintendo and the Mariners. Now it’s time for himself.

“Well, most of my friends are either retired or dead,” he said. “I intend to join the retired ranks. I’m going to play more golf, I’m going to do a lot more fly-fishing, and I’m going to spend a lot more time with my family, including my two grandsons.”

He took over full time as the team’s CEO before the 2000 season, replacing John Ellis. During his tenure as CEO, the team made the playoffs just twice — his first season in 2000 and the magical season of 2001. The Mariners have the longest postseason drought in baseball.

“I’d have liked a few mulligans along the way,” Lincoln said.

Lincoln was relentlessly loyal to Armstrong, and together they were the decision-makers in a series of failed management moves, including the hirings and prolonged retentions of general managers Bill Bavasi and Jack Zduriencik.

He also made the regrettable comment about placing himself on the “hot seat” in 2007, released a letter condemning NBA/NHL arena efforts in the Sodo area and mentioned taking “painful” financial hits and not retaining bonuses for losing seasons. None of that endeared him to a weary and frustrated fan base.

“You always have a few regrets,” he said. “There are some trades maybe we shouldn’t have made, things like that. But you can’t second-guess yourself, you have to move forward. I’m really excited about what I’m seeing now. Quite frankly wish I would have seen this 10 years ago.”

You forgot about the insane ticket prices and parking fees each pleb has to pay. Then there's the 1-2 hour long traffic to get back home. But the fans are already wearing another man's name on their back, so they're used to being cucked.

Go Titans!!

And once you stroke out on your feet at your wage slave job, your wife will donate the shirt to goodwill before her new guy moves in. Some hipster barista will buy it for $4.

I honestly don’t know how people can afford tickets. I have only gone to football games when vendors comp us tickets. Heck I can’t even afford baseball tickets anymore. Its crazy, like a family of 4 to go to a baseball game and sit in nosebleeds is like $450
