@j_x2tymes@Romellz_ And I guess there’s a bigger convo to be had about rich people owning cultural artifacts hostage for their own personal gain like getting tax breaks and new stadiums
@j_x2tymes@Romellz_ There’s no reason it shouldn’t be like this btw. Aside for a billionaire getting his feelings hurt team IP’s should be held by the cities those teams originally are from except for instances where the team logo and name are linked to that city like the Lakers, Stars, or Braves
@j_x2tymes@Romellz_ A 30 year beef between cities and fanbases cause one guy sucked at negotiating now what I don’t understand is why titans fans are so defensive over something they didn’t witness other than an easy way to dunk on rival fans?
@j_x2tymes@Romellz_ So instead of being patient or just asking for a new building to start with he thinks city gov would allow themselves to be bullied into giving him what he wants?
@j_x2tymes@Romellz_ Bud demanded the dome be renovated in 88 then in 93 he started again about wanted his own building. If he had waited till the turn of the century he would’ve gotten his stadium cause Minute Maid broke ground in 97 and Toyota Center in 01.
@PlayoffTanney@tmilrealdeal@HoustonTexans Choosing to ignore the “when he retired” part of the tweet is something but Imagine the Bills cut Jerry Rice as a rookie cause that’s what the oilers did
