@milesaugust09 My problem is with him running the raiders off and buying half of the coliseum as a “backup plan”. My problem is with the league falling for his bullshit
@milesaugust09 My problem is with any government subsidizing a private industry. My problem is with him crying that he’s poor and can’t afford to field a good team, but turning around with $1b at the drop of a hat. My problem is with him making the team worse and raising ticket prices.
@Art_In_RE@Travis_Sawchik They literally changed EIR laws and were offering pretty big tax cuts to help offset the stadium. $80m gap, and 3 groups lined up to buy and the owner said no. Read.
@mak3333@DamonAmendo Wait you don’t? Sure sounds like you don’t know a lot about the situation. So again, I ask, why are you so concerned with telling us we didn’t deserve a team? What’s that doing for you?
@mak3333@DamonAmendo Ownership raised prices, played in a run down park, and actively antagonized the fans. They drew just fine on the 80s and 90s when the ownership cared. If it’s not a big league town, why did 3 separate groups approach the city and ownership to buy it?
@mak3333@DamonAmendo Nobody went because we all knew they wouldn’t be keeping any of those players, and we were right. They offered the best SS in the league (and hometown player!) $1m a year. These weren’t serious people. Again, ask yourself why you’re so concerned about whether you think it’s big?
@mak3333@DamonAmendo Uninformed take. They didn’t just have bad teams- they had great teams that they willingly traded away early. The raiders left because this same shit owner kicked them out. Ask yourself why you’re dancing on the grave. Does it make you feel better that we lost something we loved?
@WilliamByrdUSA@thedrive@Ford@jimfarley98 I don’t believe this for a second. You’ll call a bunch of dealers and kick tires and then write about them not taking you seriously on Twitter
