>10 years agoMissouri had two NFL Teams in each of their large cities>TodayMissouri is losing their second NFL team to hated rival Kansas. Has a state ever been humiliated more?
America is such a fucking backwards place, you can’t just move sports teams
>>152631449Cool it with the antisemitism.
>>152631449why not
>>152631449>move from one side of a river to the other to find a nice big patch of land to build a new stadium>all the same people will be fans>NOOOOO THE HECKIN' SOUL>YOU MUST RESPECT THE ARBITRARY DIVISIONS MADE 200 YEARS AGO BY PEOPLE WHO NEVER SET FOOT IN THAT AREA
>>152631491>betrays local fans>severs deep community ties>eradicates local historyNah but the profit right? That’s the important thing
they even managed ruin college football by sucking the soul out of it for more moneyworst of all they see nothing wrong with it
>>152631646KCK is the same metro area as KCMO, just nicer. The move doesn’t effect the fanbase
>>152631646NOOOO MY HECKIN LOCAL FANS
>>152631449Anon they are moving a shorter distance than Everton and Tottenham just relocated in your cunt
>>152631449>>152631646Americans are going to be mad at you for this post, but you're absolutely right. I mean, why do you think college football is much more popular than the NFL? One is more tied to a place and its people, the other is just a brand bought by multi-millionaire Jews.
>>152631816>why do you think college football is much more popular than the NFLIt isn’t, and it isn’t even close
>>152631772lol
>>152631646Pro sports are basically entertainment, this is basically like a movie theater or a mcdonalds relocating to somewhere more profitable. Nothing wrong with trying to get the bag
Last Team Standing.Kaw is Law.
>>152631449Liverpool plays in Everton and Everton now plays in Liverpool.
This is because those fans got frostbite at Arrowhead, isn't it?
>>152632119That and having an open air stadium in the cold part of the continent makes you automatically ineligible to host the Super Bowl (with one exception)
>>152631449lol...for-profit business enterprises can't operate how they want.
>>152631424what were the two NFL teams in each of Kansas City and St. Louis?Kansas City:1. Chiefs2. ???St. Louis1. Rams2. ???
>>152631424Not placing Kansas City in Kansas seems like a severe oversight.
>>152632119>>152632183luckily, both of these issues will be solved by moving the team...2 miles...across one river...in the same metro area
>>152631772Are you retarded?
>>152631449FPBPThe more money the owners and the league earn the worse it becomes for fans. Taxpayers don't want to build you a gorillion dollar stadium/shopping center? Move to a richer city. Want to watch your local team on tv? Nah, you need to pay a subscription to see that sir.I hate it. They don't give a fuck. The NFL cares more about being gay and the superbowl halftime show than they care about the fans. I wish they would make rules that would encourage teams to stay in cities. They will never do that.Majority and minority owners should, at the very least, live in the same state as the team they own.
>>152632419Everton just relocated 2 miles from Walton to VauxhallThis is the equivalent distance of Kansas City Chiefs moving stadiums across the river in the future
>>152631831>t. proud customer
>>152632416dome stadium
>>152632402>St. Louispic rel
>>152633328oops haha x
>>152631424Moving from Kansas City MO to Kansas City KS is not even a real move in my book, even though it is a different state. It’s as reasonable as you can be in that situationBut three billion? Three fucking billion? Are they building it out of pure gold?
>>152631752WtfBut why?
been to 41 states and so far MO is my least favorite. i liked mississippi more than missouri. people in missouri are the worst breed of holier-than-thou smug ass midwesterners. fuck that entire state. kc barbeque sucks.
>>152631449Yes you can. This is why one of our middling franchises is worth 10 of yours lol
will mutthoe recover in time to play?
We've got a new dome kid.
>>152634653For $3 billion they could have come up with something less generic and frankly unappealing
>>152632402>I'm a zoom zoomThe Cowboys and Cardinals
>>152631449>>152631639>>152631646>>152631752>Commonwealthcucks
>>152631424>3 BillionSometimes I wish my club could throw around this much money with no repercussions. 3 billion, holy fuck. What do they have to build for that price?But all of this only works because billionaires own these franchises as toys and still suck the taxpayers dry. And because these franchises are optimized to drain fans as pure customersI‘d love an amazing stadium. But 3 billion? How good does it have to be?
>chiefs move>royals stay and likely get a new stadium in MOlol
>>152634619care to elaborate further? I've heard Missouri is really awful.
>>152631424>Has a state ever been humiliated more?You better believe it
>>152635498And it even is a smaller stadium than before!? They build a temple of consumerism with 500000 luxury venues and tons of VIP boxes for a lower capacity, only like 65,000, for three billion? As if you couldn’t build a REALLY nice stadium of that size for one billion
>>152634619>people in missouri are the worst breed of holier-than-thou smug ass midwesternersYou've never been to Minnesota, have you?
>>152635595I've been to Minnesota for hockey trips, people there are friendly, but there's an underlying tone of insincerity in some of them. Lots of liberals and boomers there too.
>>152631752ironic how the stadium will still be closer to Kansas City, Missouri than the current Cowboys stadium is to Dallas.
>>152634572Because Kansas is giving up 3 billion in public money and Missouri was only offering 1.5 billion.
>>152631424So they do this because Kansas offers to shove more (taxpayer) money up the Chiefs‘ ass, right?How does Kansas profit? Do NFL franchises pay a lot of taxes? The franchise moving its stadium by like 5km means most people already working for the Chiefs will stay in Missouri, but I guess building a Chiefs Disneyland at the new stadium will mean more workforce? The marketing bonus of having the Chiefs around will be minimal, it still is the same agglomeration, and they have Kansas in the nameI‘m sure the Chiefs pay enough taxes for Kansas to profit, but spending a few billion on franchises notorious for wanting taxpayer money whenever they feel like a new project is due … that is an investment, and it’s not like they will have the Chiefs all for themselves
>>152636710Eh they'll point to jobs created, transactions taxed (food, booze, parking, restaurants, etc), other events it can hold aside from games like huge country concerts
>>152636710>How does Kansas profit?The domed stadium is key. That means it can host concerts and other events all year round. They get tax revenue from all those ticket sales, parking, etc.Additionally, they will develop an "entertainment district" around the stadium for restaurants, shops, and hotels with high property values for even more taxes.
>>152634653Football was not meant to be played in a dome. Gay as fuck that this is the future for a lot of teams.
doubt they drop the City designation right?
>>152636767>>152636771Makes sense, but I thought this money would mostly/overwhelmingly end up in the franchise’s pocket. Assuming they own the entire area and the stadiumEntities like that probably just pay more taxes than I imagine …
>>152631705I thought KCK was an even bigger shithole that KCMO ???
>>152631424Missouri is rapidly collapsing. Mark Twain predicted all of this.
yuro teams can't move because the amount of red tape their governments impose on doing any sort of business or construction there makes c*lifornia seem libertarian
>>152631424
>>152634619>>152635595yeah, this. Minnesotans are the worst kinds of 'people' to ever exist>>152635965boomers who are closet racists. and honestly minnesotans are just passive-aggressive people
>paying taxes to a sportsball team
>>152636771>That means it can host concerts and other events all year roundExcept it'll be too big so they won't do that. Unless you're a mega pop star you can't hope to fill out a stadium that size so it'll sit empty most of the year.
goybros we lost... AGAIN
>>152636710all of these things are scams but I can't imagine Kansas the state can ever have a pro team even at the level of the MLS or the WNBA in one of their actual cities, because they're so small. So if you're some nobody chud podunk state legislator and there's a "once in a lifetime" aspect to it, that probably makes it more appealing
>>152631752What happens at World of Fun
>>152635595the anon is probably a minnesotafag himself
>>152631920Movie theaters and McDonald's typically don't demand billions in taxpayer subsidies under threat of moving if they don't.
>>152636829Is women's soccer really popular in Germany?https://www.dw.com/en/bayern-munich-buy-ex-bundesliga-stadium-for-womens-team/a-75214681
>>152637337they have been the beneficiaries of decades of governments subsiding car use. governments have spent billions, probably even closer to trillions by now, subsidizing big auto like ford or gm so every other retard can afford to drive a beaten up rustbox through a mcdicks drive thru.
>>152631449they'll hate him for saying this but he's sadly rightsports teams are treated like cultural institutions in europe, in jewmerica they're just traveling circuses
>>152636923I look like this and say this.
grim
>>152637217It's a theme park>>152637376>>152637418Oh, hey Ivan.
>>152632771>insult somebody for a factually correct postWhat causes this?
>>152637372Not really, but the clubs that can afford it are expected to promote it. Like the WNBA is pushed in the US despite no one caring, but more noticeable because WNBA and NBA are different franchises while football clubs here have male and female teams and are expected to treat them equally by the mediaBayern bought this small and decrepit 15,000 seat stadium in the Munich agglomeration for their women because they can’t play in the main stadium (too large) and also not on the training ground stadium (too small)
>>152631424What if your team was structured to avoid this sort of thing?
>>152631424Missouri voters are smart enough not to fund stadiums for billionaires after what Bidwell did to them.
>>152631646Your teams and leagues are owned by Arabs. Your players bounce from country to country for the highest paycheck.Oh wait --- I'm responding to an obvious troll. You sure got me!
>>152631646We don't really on the king's trolly to carry us to fixed points. With as car, you can go anywhere
>>152631705KCK is not nicer than KCMO in any way. Maybe Johnson County is nicer, but not KCK
>>152637217It's like Cedar Point but without the best coasters. More like Six Flags.
>>152631424>Two more red states tripping over themselves to give as much money to billionaires as possibleMany such cases.
>>152639224>t. proud customer
Kansas City still has a football team
