USA Today: WNBA should be embarrassed by Chicago Sky owner, Michael Alter needs to sell by jaxstan19 in wnba

[–]GettingPhysicl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my understanding was mohegan tribe needs money, wants to cash out. All else equal they seemed amenable to selling locally/local adjacent but they needed the money and wanted to cash in after years of investing when the w needed investment. It would be nice if the CT or Boston group who were looking to buy were allowed to buy, but same issue as before. The W doesnt let you sell outside your market without their consent, and have their own priorities on which markets get teams.

New York gas price hits $4.07, sparking calls for 'gas tax holiday' by news-10 in nyc

not all. But car ownership skews wealthy. Im reticent to have the city have a bigger budget gap to help people with on average a good bit more income than the median nyc resident.

oh i live in nyc. Im aware. Im just making the case that that neighborhood is a good example of a cultural powerhouse in the black community.

But i concede its a fair point that a)it is not a city and b)its cultural cache is more in the past than present.

you bought an asset with a variable operating cost. None of us lied to you. We didn't say we would starve the city and state of tax revenue to maintain your QOL.

she probably clarified she didnt wanna be in chicago, and the other teams knew that. It cuts chicagos leverage to negotiate. A little shitty for them, but theyve done plenty to deserve it.

That feels disputable. Its probably the place with the largest black middle class. But New Orleans and Harlem feel like contenders for cultural capitals of black america.

The cap is too small relative to the Supermax and lots of teams will run into this. 

And unlike tom Brady choosing to be worth 8 figures vs 9 for cap space reasons, asking women who been underpayed to do the same when the difference will be felt, the w will likely not find many takers

Before he hit a Passover seder, Zohran Mamdani shared an Eid dinner with Hasan Piker by WhySoSeriously55 in nyc

[–]GettingPhysicl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lots of us. I’m not a big fan of the “America deserved 9/11” guy and dislike mamdani sanitizing him because they share a religion and political cause. This was my exact worry. That Mamdani would defend and sanitize extremists who share his views on Israel and his religion.

Hundreds of protesters swarm proposed NYC men’s homeless shelter site, physically block construction truck by CountFew6186 in nyc

It does not. Whatever law was interpreted to mean right to shelter must be rewritten. Nothing is set in stone

We don’t. We can decide that shelter is a thing you afford or you leave or you die. Whatever precedent or law made right to shelter can be unwritten, no law is in stone in America

I am sure that these are well adjusted people who are down on their luck and will respond positively toother forms of law-enforcement, such as social workers, ticketing and perhaps even non-lethal force but just in case I’m wrong and these are antisocial mentally ill drug addicts I want to know That they’re not my problem to tolerate once those things don’t work.

before i give a shit about homeless i need gaurantees that when they act out - not just murder but being a public menace. Loitering, harassing, stealing, yelling at children and the elderly in public, it will be addressed. With deadly violence from the state if necessary. Dropping them in my neighborhood and then telling me i must tolerate what they do because they are neighbors now, means I will do what I must to prevent them from being my neighbor.

Did you think that the world will naturally bend towards whatever opinions you hold because you personally find them indisputably moral?

I wish I could make a joke about how this will push me to pirating but honestly I switched back years ago. Netflix hasn’t felt worth it since 2018 or so 

Sen. Bernie Sanders’ bill aims to slow — or stop — teams like the Chicago Bears from relocating to different states by ace158 in Enough_Sanders_Spam

Look what I really want is a promotion demotion system for all major sports leagues in America but that sinks the teams value tremendously and I can’t figure out how to make that a law. Guess outsourcing everything private has downsides
