@IHateSoccerPod Why do we need all of that? We know turf is bad, fancy indoor facilities don’t provide the education. Use parks, backyards, street soccer, like when we were kids. The excess is not needed for a sport many cultures play barefoot on dirt roads. So until we stop selling a product

@Dako777 @HartzellForKC @markalfordkc Thinking otherwise is obtuse and naive at best. It’s about who will give them $$$. Jackson county cannot afford to hand over billions of dollars. They can’t even provide for the people as is. And no, it doesn’t bring in tax revenue 🙄

@Dako777 @HartzellForKC @markalfordkc Local charities aren’t going anywhere. I’m fully aware of those programs and what they offer. Local is the metro area. Most of those employees are through Aramark. Not the organization. But, the point remains that the owners had long planned to go elsewhere.

@nalhie As long as the primary focus is on $ and how much can be made off the back of athletes, it will never change.

@EricGravesKMBC @kmbc At least we know who the racists, bigots, and pedophile defenders are in the city.

@tomsan106 Yep. And private equity isn’t the answer. Especially for mls next. They won’t focus on developing.

@MLSMoves This is indicative of the lack of actual talent development in the US. pay to play has created this.

@BasmatiDeclan @MLSMoves New ownership isn’t really new. He was a minority owner and now is majority only because the illigs sold their shares. They still run the show though.

@PeteMundo No. It’s on Trump. But it’s also on the hubris of the billionaires in this country AND FIFA.

Okay. I get that there is rain and grass will grow. But… when it’s seeding out in not even a week between mows, maybe mow a little shorter? Pretty sure this against “policy”. @KansasCity @KCParks2 @FWC26KansasCity @KCTV5 @KSHB41

@nytimes This affects service members kids etc. yall are punishing those you flail to support

[Jim Shapiro @jimshapiro]

Youth sports isn’t ruined by kids, it’s adults chasing trophies, rankings, and highlight reels over growth.

We’ve traded development for exposure, joy for pressure, and teamwork for ego.

Fix the adults, and you fix the game.

It’s that simple.

@theRealEJNorman @amnestyusa They weren’t. But as evidenced by *gestures wildly* @FIFAcom doesn’t care about anything other than $

@VdotL Yes

@1_ChiefsKingdom Tax benefit for the billionaires? Sure. But the taxes would be better spent on actual needs of the city from education to healthcare to infra structure and actually caring for the people - yet instead the city is donating to something that will bring in zero dollars b

@KCGOAT87 @Ms_LilShadow True and not true. There is no fiscal benefit to funding a stadium or ultimately impacting traffic to two major hospitals, removing a park for retail, and influencing housing market in an area that is currently kkstly affordable. He’s right. You’re wrong. And I love my teams.

@codybtapp The parking garage view is wonderful. I really hope they keep that … 🙄
