If @MLB is going to ask for public interest in stadiums, they need to offer public interest in their teams.
Manfred is a professional extortionist on behalf of 30 billionaires. It must stop!
@TotallyAllIn@TomSwartz296286@RepCasar@SenSanders The Vegas MLB team doesn’t exist. That is like saying “my future condo on the moon is worth $800,000,000. Any speculative/claimed future value is based on best case scenario.
Potential future value =/= value. If they fall short of their lofty projections actual value is less.
NEW: It's now more lucrative to have a losing sports team than a championship team.
We examined the Boston Red Sox to see how private equity and cost cutting invaded sports.
In this era, teams want to sell good players for profit more than they want to have a good season.
@XbyKire@jonfavs@grok@elonmusk Can’t confirm is different than saying definitively that it is fake and fabricated.
I personally think that people expect too much from AI, but to OP’s point it is useless for reliably confirming the validity of something.
@unexpectedmuzic@yourave16628169@ShelbyTalcott Whataboutism is a crazy thing.
“I will disregard this horrible thing because someone else who I don’t like did something that I don’t like”
That logic is wild.
@CaseyAPratt Nah, that was earlier, but I will be in a few hours after SOMEONE goes to bed. Then we can choppen our knives and take some fools to church.
@bainbridger1984@Angry_Staffer This line of “reasoning” has always been BAFFLING to me.
Regardless of what side of the aisle you are on, if you are guilty of a crime you should pay. It doesn’t matter if it is Clinton or Trump. If they are both guilty lock them both up. This level of whataboutism is ridiculous
But don’t worry. The A’s will sell out every home game from all of the visitors and locals.
Numbers are probably just down because the A’s aren’t there yet, right my bootlicking friends?
Las Vegas saw its fewest number of visitors in four years during 2025. Visitation was 38.5 million, a decline of 7.5% from 2024. December, despite several major events and the NFR, saw a 9.2% visitation drop.
Hotel occupancy, roomrates & RevPar were off.

@monks0308@GeraldineElore@AngryAFMario@allenanalysis@Clinton06960762 Also, it’s pretty simple:
Falsifying business records = misdemeanor
Falsifying business records with intent to conceal a crime = felony
Each document = 1 charge (which is typical of all fraud and white collar crime cases)
Result - 34 charges of a FELONY offense.
@monks0308@GeraldineElore@AngryAFMario@allenanalysis@Clinton06960762 One side is talking about someone convicted by a jury of 34 felonies.
The other is talking about people not charged, not tried, and not convicted of anything.
Calling for jail based on verdicts is categorically different from calling for jail based on accusations.
