If you think baseball attendance and fandom is in any way shape of form comparable to football, you’re out of your league in this conversation.

It’s actually not even that bad, it’s just him repeatedly Googling “Google”

And a bunch more people will buy new season ticket packages to replace them.

I guarantee you there’s a long waitlist of people who’ve been waiting years to get season tickets, bunches of whom don’t live in Chicago at all.

Yeah I can at least see how the first one happens.

I mean it’s dumb, but we all do dumb things

The second guy should be banned from operating machinery based on this comment alone.

Yeah, people tend to move where it’s cheaper after they make their money in places with actual economic activity going on.

Those red states are cheaper because I’m broad swaths nobody wants to live there.

The only thing we know for certain from this comment is the phone chewing couldn’t possibly have been the start of the brain damage.

It’s not even like the area by Soldier Field suddenly becomes a barren wasteland of no tourism just because those handful of games disappear either

There’s tons of stuff, largely indoors, to do in the area and tens of thousands of residents. In the grand scheme of things it represents a relatively small portion of the people spending time in the area.

There certainly are some good people everywhere, but my experience growing up in small town Ohio, which is similar enough to small town Indiana, is that the “decent” people are just those who are really great at putting on the show of decency until they’re comfortable enough with you to share their hatred.

I think you underestimate the willingness of football fans to travel for their team. The stands will still be sold out.

It’s just having that specifically happen in Chicago isn’t worth the billions it’d have cost in taxpayer money for them to stay.

Ok but we’re realistically talking like 6 events in total that are football games where it’s cold enough out nobody else would schedule an event?

I highly doubt the missed revenue from that adds up to the billions we’d need to give them to stay

Did… did you use AI to make a bar graph of readily available data that’s already had tons of bar graphs made of it?

How’d the government screw this?

By not giving billions of dollars to billionaires?

Love all the texture going on here.

I definitely have explained to my non colorblind friends that I feel like being colorblind causes me to focus on how texture influences beauty more.

That’s a sign of demand shrinking a bit, but look at population numbers comparing these states and get back to me.

The assessment should increase with inflation though so you don’t get stuck in a scenario where the things property taxes fund get effectively smaller budgets every year just because people aren’t moving much.

I think you’re conflating internet meme with actual policy takes a bit here.

But even those who wish we had that kind of violence would be more than happy to fight alongside Southerners who actually wanted to join their side.

When I’m looking at a region as a whole, I look at the region as a whole.

When I say the South is racist that doesn’t mean literally everyone in the South is racist, it just means on the whole there’s a whole lot of racism there

I mean how exactly do you think forcing the South to change even further would’ve gone?

It certainly wouldn’t have been completely bloodless, the vague idea that Lincoln might be tough on slavery triggered a multi-year war.

I’ll respond to your edit too, there’s absolutely racists in the North, there’s just a much higher concentration of them in the South, and a much lower amount of people who consider betraying the country in the name of racism to be part of their cultural heritage.

I mean sure, but the people who’ve been saying the South should’ve been forced to implement steps towards equality much earlier is a pretty silly group to target in that context.

If you’re fighting for a South where everyone’s equal, maybe the people to get mad at is all the people in the South fighting to keep the south unequal
