I'm a Kansas Citian, and a lifelong Chiefs fan, but watching Clark Hunt take a shit on the city that made his family billionaires because we don't want to fork over $6 billion in taxes for an unnecessary new stadium, and now watching Cleveland get shat upon by the Browns, just kind of makes me happy my mental illness has put me to where I'm able to just enjoy sports as entertainment and not get emotional about it.
Their greed is insatiable and infuriating, or at least it would be if I didn't expect it.
I am very much an NFL fan (sad DUUUVAL noises), and I think the mindset that allows wholesale franchise moves is very fucked, but I honestly just can't get worked up over an NFL team moving to the suburbs in their existing market. It's 8-10 dates per year, almost always on a weekend, with a culture of tailgating instead of pub-going. Then, in any way related to "civic pride" intangibles, the core city still gets most of the benefits. The city of Dallas told Jerry Jones years ago (and Clint Murchison years before then) to fuck off, but Irving and then stupid, stupid Arlington just bent over backwards. Dallas made absolutely the right decision. So did Detroit and Buffalo and Phoenix and all the others. I think it will be the same for KCMO.
Speaking of Clark Hunt, part of the issue y'all have is that the Hunts have always been a Dallas family first and foremost. Their dad just bailed first when the NFL and AFL were both losing money hand-over-fist on their Dallas franchises. The Hunts just dumped a ton of money into the suburban soccer stadium for FC Dallas, though TBF Frisco is just "Arlington Junior" and will contort themselves into the most awkward of positions to fellate a sports owner or attraction operator. The Hunts are only on the hook for 1/3 of the ~$200M in upgrades.
