CLIMATE INSANITY: Amazon to Rename Seattle’s KeyArena ‘Climate Pledge Arena’

It’s not enough for the leftist climate activist elites to promote their climate agenda in Big Tech company policies alone. Now Amazon has decided to infuse its climate agenda into the naming of a stadium to shove it into sports fans’ faces.

Ya gotta like gloom and rain to move to that part of the country. Then add in millions of Communist/leftist into the mix?

Not for me!

That was around the late ‘90s. That said, she was “different.”

Again, so what? What does he care? As soon as AOC and her nut squad starting running their yaps about the Amazon HQ going in NYC, Bezos took his marbles and went elsewhere. And Seattle needs him WAY more than he needs Seattle.

I wonder what Bezos will do if the climate activists decide Amazon is a major contributor to climate change?

Sports fans will again be defined as being unintelligent and supporting the radical left by showing up.

It’s almost at the point now, where if I see someone at a sporting event, I think of them as a ‘traitor’.

I could never have imagined thinking that just a few years ago.

If they’re going to go all-in, they need to eliminate the parking lot and replace it with a park, leaving only a bus/train station, but encouraging people to use bicycles instead.

Seattle has about the shittiest climate in the country

As I sit in my living room, looking out the window, I see a beautiful blue sky and lots of green plants. I live in a suburb of Seattle.

I will admit, though, that starting in November, we get a lot of rain; and, that we do have our fair number of foggy days. However, it is not always like that; but, we like to tell other people that it is so they won't come here.

What an idiotic name for a sports arena

Yesterday, after the name came out, a poll was done of Seattle-ites and 80% did not like the name. Bezos doesn't seem to make many marketing mistakes; but, boy, this one sucks.

[LibertarianLiz]

I actually knew a gal who moved from MA to Seattle because she liked the idea of a mild, rainy climate.

My daughter went to the University of Indiana-Bloomington to attend their Music School. We live in the Seattle area, so seafood is something she had been eating since she was little. She met a guy there from the Boston area and he also ate seafood. The other people there, who were not from coastal areas, thought both of them were kind of weird for ordering seafood all the time.

You live by a large body of water, you tend to eat more fish than other people.

As for the rainy, gloomy, climate -- I have gotten used to it and, on occasion when we go for a long period of time without rain, I actually miss it. I know the "gloom" does bother some people; but, me and my husband, not really.

[John Milner]

Yeah, If I lived there I’d automatically call it the Lemon Pledge Arena just to be an ass - in a totally harmless way, of course.

[Secret Agent Man]

someday pornhub will own amazon and change the stadium name to something more tasteful.

yes, the irony is i believe even a place like them would pick a better name than bezos and amazon’s climate pledge stadium

I just watched a full day of gray and rain. Chicago area sucks too. About the same rainfall inches per year but more sunny days.

Same here. I played in little league baseball, junior high football, Tae Kwon Do, rugby,... Loved sports. Even watched some games, but I'm not a spectator now except for a local auto race or a local ball game every now and then.
