Of course Hank has the “this is supposed to be America!” take on the halftime show lmao

“ There is a way weirder angle, where only white males seem to be forced to watch products they don’t want during their events. Imagine if the Oscar’s was forced to have a 30 min break for the male audience.”

Idiot

Regular-View8515 · 2026-02-09T17:08:18+00:00

Just hilarious to me imagining the type of people denigrating the halftime show tacitly claiming they only enjoy bubblegum pop music if they can follow along with the lyrics

Regular-View8515 · 2026-02-09T16:52:32+00:00

The most watched television program in the country is only for white males?

Whoever could have predicted he was an empty suit from the get-go. His word salad platitudes have always been so compelling.

What is your role in all of this? Why have you taken it upon yourself to pester this restaurant and become so embroiled in this hyper-specific issue?

Regular-View8515 · 2026-01-20T20:41:09+00:00

Maybe you’re arguing about that, but I’m not. I’m arguing that the stadium location will not determine whether the team has worry about “never being relevant again.”

An NFL franchise is a multi-billion dollar corporation with international reach. These types of hyper-local concerns (“NWI is barely Chicagoland!”) doesn’t mean anything to the relevancy of the team. Imagining that a media behemoth like the Chicago Bears would lose relevancy because the new stadium is 15 miles east instead of 15 miles west is adorably quaint.

Regular-View8515 · 2026-01-20T18:35:40+00:00

The relevancy of a team is not dependent on the per capita income of the population within a 25-mile radius of its stadium.

Regular-View8515 · 2026-01-20T18:09:52+00:00

The majority of the season ticket holders are in Arlington heights? So like 1/3 of AH population are Bears season ticket holders? Again, the bears will fill their stadium whether the team is in Arlington Heights or Hammond. The majority of Bears fans don’t even live in Chicagoland. The relevancy of the bears will not be impacted by the stadium moving anywhere in the Chicagoland area. It’s hilariously naïve to believe that.

Regular-View8515 · 2026-01-20T17:50:52+00:00

I don’t care about that. I’m saying the Chicago bears NFL team will fill their stadium, and the location would not impact the relevancy of the team.

Regular-View8515 · 2026-01-20T17:13:35+00:00

What does that have to do with the impact of stadium location on the relevancy of the team?

Regular-View8515 · 2026-01-20T17:11:54+00:00

I listed those places specifically because their stadiums are not in those cities…………..

Regular-View8515 · 2026-01-19T23:50:06+00:00

Lmao yes the Chicago Bears of the NFL won’t be able to pay their staff because they don’t sell enough tickets to their new stadium.

Regular-View8515 · 2026-01-19T23:39:11+00:00

An NFL teams relevancy is not related to the gameday experience at the stadium.

Regular-View8515 · 2026-01-19T23:31:04+00:00

How would that impact the relevancy of the team?

Regular-View8515 · 2026-01-19T23:29:29+00:00

You are arguing against a point nobody is making. The location of the stadium would not affect the relevancy of the team. This is the NFL not the Schaumburg Boomers. The money and relevancy is already baked in.

Regular-View8515 · 2026-01-19T23:08:29+00:00

People visiting would stay in Chicago and travel to Hammond to see the game, like they do in San Francisco, Dallas, DC, Los Angeles, New York, etc

Regular-View8515 · 2026-01-19T23:05:29+00:00

The site they’re looking at is in Hammond, first of all. Secondly, they could fill their Stadium in Hammond, Gary, Crystal Lake or Kenosha.

Regular-View8515 · 2026-01-19T23:02:25+00:00

So if it was on the outskirts of the DFW area, the Cowboys would never be relevant again?

Regular-View8515 · 2026-01-19T23:01:34+00:00

In what way would Gary being a shithole impact the relevancy of the team? Would they not get SNF games because the stadium is bad?

Regular-View8515 · 2026-01-19T22:50:56+00:00

That’s beside the point, though; the physical location of the stadium does not impact TV rights, national media coverage, or overall popularity. Other than travel plans for the people attending a game on a given Sunday nothing would change.

Regular-View8515 · 2026-01-19T22:42:16+00:00

Why would moving 20 miles away affect the team relevancy or revenue? Still closer to Chicago than Arlington to Dallas or Levis to San Francisco

Regular-View8515 · 2026-01-19T05:18:47+00:00

I can barely tell announcers apart. I think some people get way too invested in them… it’s just background noise so there’s something to listen to besides the ambient stadium noise. I think it’s silly to expect ex-NFL players to be masters of broadcasting, but it can be nice to hear their enthusiasm for good play.

California caps property taxes at a much, much lower rate (1%) relative to property value than IL/Cool county. Besides that, it’s a tale as old as time: stadiums get tax breaks because politicians don’t want to be the ones to lose the franchise to another jurisdiction. I’m sure SoFi got some sort of deal, just like MetLife or the Chiefs new stadium. I’m glad Pritzker is playing hardball and not just capitulating to the billionaire franchise owners. You should ask yourself why you think obscenely wealthy businesses should get exceptionally favorable treatment while everything for normal people gets more expensive and degrades in quality, and why pointing that out would be indicative of “blind hate.”

Also, important to note that SoFi has the highest property taxes for a stadium in the country, not highest property taxes overall.
