This is NOT a failure for the state of Illinois. Stop. Giving. Billionaires. Handouts.
The lawmakers in Indiana are happy to sell out their taxpayers for a stadium that doesn’t bear their name and won’t ever recoup the millions they’ll spend to build and maintain it.
Billionaire team owners keep getting richer while fans keep getting screwed.
It's why the Bears may leave Chicago.
It's also why @SenSanders and I introduced the Home Team Act — requiring team owners to offer locals the chance to buy a team before moving it away.
really sucks to be a bears fan that is also a communist bc it hurts to see your rivals have everything you could ever want (team publicly owned by the community instead of by billionaires)
I’ve said it a thousand times at this point, but ruining everything people love about sports to squeeze a few more dollars is gonna have long term negative effects that people can’t imagine
My official announcement is that I am staying in Chicago unless the taxpayers of Indiana graciously agree to pay for a 12 bedroom, 12 bath home for my family in a gated community with two pools, a basketball court, and a bowling alley in the basement.
Breaking: The Bears’ Board of Directors voted Thursday to advance the stadium development in Hammond, Indiana.
“There is more work to do, but barring anything very strange, it’s a done deal,” one source told @AdamSchefter.
Autism indicator.
Bad at identifying and/or appropriately judging the rationality of social cues → repeatedly accidentally making people uncomfortable, without knowing why → conditioned to assume you’re ALWAYS screwing up socially, regardless of your progress
