STATEMENT FROM VANCOUVER MAYOR KEN SIM:
The Whitecaps have been Vancouver’s club since 1974. Many things have changed throughout the years: the players, the logos, the kits, and the stadiums, just to name a few. The one thing that has never changed is Vancouver’s love of this team.
The Whitecaps are one of the top teams in the MLS, they were the runners up in last year’s championship, and they sit in the top ten of league attendance at an average of 24,000+ per game. While we understand that professional sports is a complex business, it would be a mistake for any team to leave a market with such a longstanding history and ready-made fanbase.
The City of Vancouver has done its part to create a path forward for the team’s future here by offering prime space at Hastings Park for the Whitecaps to construct a new stadium and entertainment district.
Now, we face the difficult part.
BC Place is owned and operated by the Provincial Government. In fact, it’s the only stadium owned and operated by a government found anywhere in the MLS. In order for the team to stay in Vancouver, the Whitecaps and Province must sign a bridge deal that will allow BC Place to become viable in the near term while a new stadium can be designed and built.
That's why today, we are calling on the team’s ownership to publicly and clearly articulate what they need to stay here in Vancouver, and we are calling on the Provincial Government to come to the table and make that a reality.
To all Vancouver Whitecaps fans, to the @Southsiders, and to all of the supporter groups, we need you to keep the fight going. We need you to stay strong, and we need you to stay loud.
Losing the Whitecaps is not an option. #SAVETHECAPS
The future of the Vancouver Whitecaps in Vancouver still feels uncertain, and this club means a lot to people across the city and throughout BC.
The Whitecaps are a big part of Vancouver’s sporting culture and community. Show your support: https://t.co/f2fBJhdxgm ⚽💙
A guy goes to Las Vegas and wins a small jackpot on the slots. He goes out to find a hooker. He spots one dressed to the nines and asks her how much.
The Hooker says, "a hand job starts at $500.
He says "that sounds like a lot."
The hooker responds, "you see that restaurant across the street? Well, I own that restaurant because I give a hand job that's worth every bit of $500."
So they go to his room, and he realizes that it was indeed worth $500.
The next night he has a wonderful night at blackjack, and goes to find another hooker.
Much to his surprise, he runs into the same one, again dressed to kill and with a different hair style.
He asks, "how much for a BJ?" He is astounded when the hooker says, "$1500."
The hooker says, "listen, you see that casino across the street? Well, I own that casino because I give a blow job worth every penny of $1500."
So they go to his room again, and sure enough, the BJ is actually that good.
As he is paying, he asks, 'just out of curiosity, how much would it be to get some pussy?"
The hooker points out the window and says, you see that city out there?"
The guy says, "wait a minute, are you telling me that you own the city of Las Vegas?"
The hooker sighs and says, "no. But I probably would if I had a pussy."
I’ve watched this video countless times and I’ve come to one conclusion…
If you think this is a catch by Cooks you either don’t know ball or you’re a Bills fan. There’s no other explanation.
ICE officer to moronic female protester:
"We are here to arrest a child sex offender. You’re honking and impeding our investigation while we’re trying to arrest a child sex offender. That’s who you guys are protecting… insane."
