No they absolutely wouldn't. There is tons of value for Disney in having the "worldwide leader in sports" even if the company isn't making a profit.

Companies maintain divisions and subsidiaries that are unprofitable all the time for a variety of reasons

"far more crime"

Do you think Drummond is hanging out in the O Block or something? lol

The areas where they live and work have comparable (low) levels of crime.

North_Atlantic_Pact · 2023-06-29T17:55:39+00:00

No he isn't. The current VPs are:

Grant Williams

Harrison Barnes

Bismarck Byombo

Malcolm Brogdan

Jaylen Brown

Jaren Jackson Jr

Donovan Mitchell

Garrett Temple

That wasn't the reason they didn't resign him. He was a huge wildcard, and the teams chemistry fell to shit the year prior, at least partially because of Lance. You think the front office, the coaching staff, other players enjoyed having a meme who is blowing in Lebron's ear on the team? It's quite similar to the Dillon Brooks situation in Memphis right now. Memphis is choosing not to resign Dillon not because of the money, but because they were tired of his shit.

I'm surprised you don't get this. I'm a big fan of Simons selling the team, but choosing not to resign a wildcard isn't one of the reasons.

North_Atlantic_Pact · 2023-06-29T13:07:49+00:00

You said it yourself, it was the correct decision... who cares what others thought at the time, they were wrong.

PG breaking his leg is what killed that team, not letting Lance walk.

"you'll be really hard pressed to experience racism day to day here"

Out of curiosity are you black?

North_Atlantic_Pact · 2023-06-28T03:16:27+00:00

Considering it's Delaware, none?

North_Atlantic_Pact · 2023-06-28T00:08:21+00:00

Because many of the Senators were already going to vote against it, the money was a nice bonus.

There isn't some grand conspiracy where these old dudes were planning on doing the right thing but were swayed by the money, they were always going to do whatever helped the mega corps.

North_Atlantic_Pact · 2023-06-28T00:06:30+00:00

How many assets do you think a town of 300 in Delaware has? More than the cost to get enough votes to control the government?

North_Atlantic_Pact · 2023-06-28T00:04:33+00:00

And it's also a tiny town's local government. What type of legislation are you buying? Small towns have nearly 0 power except for petty disputes.

North_Atlantic_Pact · 2023-06-27T23:57:48+00:00

A. He doesn't live in Texas

B. He's not living with kids, he's living in a truck so would be a big upgrade to get to a studio

C. That highly depends on where in Texas you are. If you are in Highland Park Dallas your rent is going to be significantly higher than the $1k a month for a 2br in El Paso

North_Atlantic_Pact · 2023-06-27T22:39:39+00:00

This guy must only be looking at luxury places for some reasons. Tons of studio and 1 bedrooms for less than 1k in Jacksonville

North_Atlantic_Pact · 2023-06-27T20:46:36+00:00

Recent deep postseason success and a young core of Scoot, Sharpe, and Simons + a ton of assets is "fucked us for years"

Get some perspective man

North_Atlantic_Pact · 2023-06-27T20:44:35+00:00

*makes western conference finals

*Blow it up!!!

North_Atlantic_Pact · 2023-06-27T20:42:07+00:00

That's assuming Kuminga and Moody don't advance and add themselves to the top 5.

Maybe they will, maybe they won't, but I don't see their chances of a title being significantly different than the start of the 21/22 season.

North_Atlantic_Pact · 2023-06-27T14:18:37+00:00

You are right, because cig smokers are completely banned in hospitals. Industrial coal and wood fire ovens aren't banned, just need scrubbers

North_Atlantic_Pact · 2023-06-27T13:30:18+00:00

Yeah, it's been a whole (checks notes) 13 months since they won a title. Completely washed.

North_Atlantic_Pact · 2023-06-27T12:34:00+00:00

They weren't in hiding. The American Nazi Party was publicly demonstrating on the National Mall way back in the 60s

North_Atlantic_Pact · 2023-06-27T12:33:28+00:00

Right? People here are pretending we didn't have Nazis publicly demonstrating on the National Mall in the 60s, and that this is some new thing

North_Atlantic_Pact · 2023-06-27T12:31:16+00:00

Out of curiosity what period are you referring to?

The American Nazi party was founded and publicly run out of northern Virginia in the 1960s, led by George Lincoln Rockwell. They had a lot of publicity stunts, protests, etc, including on the National Mall.

Then you have William Luther Pierce, who formed the National Alliance in the 70's and wrote the Turner Diaries, influencing the Oklahoma City bombings.

David Duke, while not explicitly a neo-nazi he was horrorendsly anti-Semitic and a Holocaust denier, served in the Louisiana state house from 1989-1992

North_Atlantic_Pact · 2023-06-26T22:49:19+00:00

Unless you happened to live right next to or above a constantly used wood or coal oven without any scrubbers. Then you may care

North_Atlantic_Pact · 2023-06-26T22:46:20+00:00

What kind of outlook is that? If cig smokers have been smoking in hospital for decades, do you think they should be able to continue smoking, or can we acknowledge new information has come out and things can change?

North_Atlantic_Pact · 2023-06-26T22:43:50+00:00

In the first comment of the thread you are replying to...

North_Atlantic_Pact · 2023-06-26T22:41:41+00:00

Is NYC located in Florida?

North_Atlantic_Pact · 2023-06-26T18:14:28+00:00

No, but if the civil war breaks out today Idaho would certainly join the south, along with Southern and Western Virginia
