When will sports franchises commit suicide by following their own demands that hiring preference should be driven by diversity of superficial characteristics instead of ability?
“Sports fans like me love gleaming new stadiums”
But tax payers don’t; these are big money losers that the tax payers end up subsidizing. Voters will vote against them but the politicians still shove them down everyone’s throat. City and county local politicians are very easily bought off.
Except that they all play in fancy new stadiums funded by taxpayers.
So it's corporate welfare.
It'll be interesting to see if the new Bills stadium sells out in Buffalo. They'll raise the prices. $500 for seat in the new stadium?
Sports are raciss!
Where be da asians?
They’re going to need those sports stadiums. They don’t have anywhere to store their illegal aliens.
How many NFL or NBA players are Asian women?

“They’ll raise the prices. $500 for seat in the new stadium?”
And people will pay it. That’s the problem.
As for the “diversity” to garnishing money to pay for it, it is no different than a singing group or a rodeo. They play to where the money is going to come from. Don’t expect a string quartet at a rodeo playing Mozart. On the same note you wouldn’t expect many night club comedy performers to use the material they use in night clubs on television. They play to an audience. And if the audience is willing to pay the price, they’ll charge it. That’s entertainment. And it just so happens that professional sports entertainment works at a different level.
Ever heard of a cheap major university? They charge exuberent prices to “educate” students who in most cases don’t have enough money to buy lunch. But people are stepping over others to get in there. It all has to do with the piece of the pie. If the pie is good, the public supplies another pie. If it isn’t, they serve cupcakes and figure out ways to broaden their offer like free coffee.
But diversity comes with a price. Diversity is the recognition of differences. Improperly handled, that turns into mistrust and hatred through idiots that make it so. That’s how our politicians work now. Heard much about what Biden is going to do for you in the next term except get Trump? If Trump died tomorrow, the libs wouldn’t be able to make a sound. That and the fact that their policies are destructive and it isn’t wise to advertise harm. Won’t sell very much.

Good Lord, I thought I'd heard it all. The Tampa Bay Chamber of Commerce charges an $899 certification fee and advertises a “matchmakers program.”
How do you pass the certification exam? Do they match you up with another random homo and send you into a back room with a video camera and a jar of lube?
So far. Yes.
But all the stadiums are getting replaced right now. You have enough wealthy people in LA and NYC to pay $500 per seat.
But for cities like Buffalo, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Kansas City? Probably not. They will all get new stadiums or get we extensive renovations in the next 10 years.
Maybe they'll relocate.
Eventually the loss of taxable income from the for-profit entities will become noticeable, when the government defined-benefit pension funds have nothing domestic to invest in. Other than government debt, of course.
Taxpayer rape in the name of diversity.
I'm still not sure why so many people can't see that professional sports are not real. I mean, they hid it pretty well until about the time Obama took office, but anyone paying attention today can see that they are watching WWE-class "entertainment products" and not athletic competitions.
Buying a $12 hot dog will be proof of an addadictomy.
“You have enough wealthy people in LA and NYC to pay $500 per seat.”
Until it goes to $600, or maybe a round number like $1000. It’s the old adage, until it bites you on the arse, you can live with it if the rewards are enough. And they will continue to stretch the envelope if they think they can get it.

Thus, they're killing the golden goose.
“...professional sports are not real.”
Oh, they are real. But they are very limited in their use. Show me a defensive lineman that can play quarterback or a right fielder that can play second base. Few and far between. It has become a specialty application on almost every sport. And that specialty is being used for the diversity issue to put butts in the seats. And just look in the end zones or the bleachers. Some of them should be locked up for public safety and anyone around them better be ready for a possible need for a rabies shot. There’s a problem with beer foam out there. Or is it beer foam.

They're real to the Gamblers.
