I honestly can't believe some of you are acting like the absolute shit infrastructure, roads and such is because of a 3/8 cent tax that has been in effect for decades. Blame your shitty politicians and how they use the funds.
****ing reerun Vonbobo acting like Frank White is looking out for anyone but Frank is hilarious. ****ing chode. |

What about residents who don't enjoy the chiefs or sports? Why do they have to pay? Why do adults of the future who aren't even born yet have to pay for the stadium? |

A ticket is a personal choice on where my money is spent. A stadium tax is extorting money from an entire population whether they enjoy sports or not.

I won’t say things that gets this pushed to DC but there are plenty of things taxpayers have to pay for even if they don’t enjoy what their taxes fund. Lastly it’s not even a new tax but one that is already in place. It would have just been an extension of that. How many people have noticed that difference week in and week out over the years? How many will see any difference if it goes away? People tend to take pride in where they are from/currently live and having sports teams contributes to that. This is especially true of places that aren’t populated by transients whose loyalty is elsewhere. |

I wonder how many of you all vote to end entitlement benefits that people have earned and need while at the same time are upset about people not wanting to give a billionaire money for a game. |

There are also residents that don't take pride in having a sports team. There are even.... gasp.. cities without pro teams that still have a lot of pride. Can you even imagine? Maybe KC just isn't able to afford the luxury of supporting two sports teams anymore? Maybe this is better left to cities with better public transportation and more tourism dollars because of mountains or oceans or massive casinos? Why would someone from out of state choose KC over Vegas, Colorado, or the Pacific ocean? So they can eat BBQ in an airport and a 45 minute drive in a rental car? Have you seen the cost of our above average hotels lately? The prices are not that far off from some hotel rooms in Manhattan NY. |

2. Gasp there are cities without a pro team and many of them trip over themselves to get one. Perhaps they could be proud of their town while also having a pro team on the national stage that represents them. Why else would they push so hard for a pro team? 3. Perhaps KC and Jackson County proper can’t afford two teams, I don’t know. But the metro area (to include Kansas) easily can. 4. How does the areas you mentioned figure into a sports team? I pray for you as you genuinely seem bitter and angry. Simply put the tax would have been a continuation of what was already in place, not a new tax. |

It’s fascinating watching vonBobo lash out and go through this crisis as he processes the widening gap from his complete certainty the teams weren’t leaving to the distinct possibility they are both gone.

Everything he's complaining about is pretty valid but there are more options between giving billionaires a handout against taxpayers' will and a team leaving your city.

The NFL has been loud and proud about extorting cities and leaving to the highest bidder for many many many years. They have never been bluffing. Chargers, Rams, Raiders, Raiders, Raiders, Cardinals, Oilers.. hell even the Chiefs aren't from here. What a huge middle finger it would be if the chiefs went back home to Texas lol.

I think I combined you and Jettio, who has been far more insistent that the Clarks want to stay at Arrowhead and wouldn’t ever leave. |
