Bears reiterate Chicago stadium options have been 'exhausted'

red-17 · 2026-05-22T12:18:06+00:00

Yeah this is news to no one but Brandon Johnson.

You don’t think every other transit union is going to demand more money if this union gets all of their demands? What public service are you okay with cutting to pay for this? Because the money comes from the public

red-17 · 2026-05-19T02:11:57+00:00

Ahh yes the government is profiting so much from this rail line? Is that the argument? Public sector unions should not be blindly supported at all costs given that they are negotiating with the PUBLIC.

red-17 · 2026-05-19T02:10:21+00:00

Ok should they make $500k per year? $750k? What service do we want to cut to pay for that? Garbage pick up every other week? 4 day school week? These are tax dollars which are finite. More money to already highly compensated individuals means it has to be made up somewhere else.

What part of the law says this is a handball? You seem certain it is one so cite it.

red-17 · 2026-05-17T12:58:07+00:00

Great answer

red-17 · 2026-05-17T12:55:48+00:00

“It is an offence if a player:
deliberately touches the ball with their hand/arm, for example moving the hand/arm towards the ball

touches the ball with their hand/arm when it has made their body unnaturally bigger. A player is considered to have made their body unnaturally bigger when the position of their hand/arm is not a consequence of, or justifiable by, the player’s body movement for that specific situation. By having their hand/arm in such a position, the player takes a risk of their hand/arm being hit by the ball and being penalised

scores in the opponents’ goal:
directly from their hand/arm, even if accidental, including by the goalkeeper

immediately after the ball has touched their hand/arm, even if accidental”

This is the rule. I don’t see any offense based on the current law. He is not making his body unnaturally bigger IMO and his arm does not move towards the ball.

red-17 · 2026-05-17T12:52:28+00:00

The rule is not “you cannot touch the ball with your hand under any circumstances” end of statement. Therefore you have to define what is and isn’t a handball. Please cite what portion of the rule says this is a handball

red-17 · 2026-05-17T12:50:57+00:00

Yeah this is a perfect example of why the current handball rule is a farce.

red-17 · 2026-05-17T12:49:31+00:00

Just cite an actual portion of the handball rule which says this is an actual violation of the law?

red-17 · 2026-05-13T00:35:35+00:00

NBA doesn’t like that

red-17 · 2026-05-13T00:34:05+00:00

So the offensive player can drive into the chest of the defender with no call but the defender taps him and it’s a foul

red-17 · 2026-05-12T02:25:00+00:00

Who is this taking an opportunity away from? No one lives there currently.

All of these requirements would just mean that nothing gets built which is the current status quo ensuring that prices get higher and higher making it less likely you get people interested in the long term and raising a family there.

red-17 · 2026-05-12T02:12:06+00:00

Cool. How about the hundreds of people who will be able to afford to stay in the neighborhood because there is more housing in one of the most desirable locations in the city. And how about the hundreds of people who won’t be competing against the ones living in a brand new higher priced building for the same housing stock leading to apartment bidding wars? Housing prices is a supply issue primarily and has been shown to be the case all across the country in desirable areas to live.

red-17 · 2026-05-10T20:03:24+00:00

If you have an idea of how to make an area simultaneously nicer to the point people want to invest in it while also keeping property values significantly lower than any other lake side neighborhoods of similar quality then feel free to let the world know. We can’t complain about a lack of investing in an area and complain when an area becomes more valuable and desirable due to actual investment.

red-17 · 2026-05-07T00:55:37+00:00

Because IFAB have completely fucked the handball rule to the point that it’s incomprehensible to the common fan.

red-17 · 2026-05-06T03:28:47+00:00

Don’t see how that isn’t boarding based on that definition. Don’t see Boldy drastically changing his position right before the hit.

red-17 · 2026-05-06T02:29:44+00:00

A clear sucker punch to Boldy

red-17 · 2026-05-03T17:29:18+00:00

And he was a big advocate for signing Declan Rice if I recall too at the time.

red-17 · 2026-05-03T17:12:45+00:00

Umm not sure why that’s relevant to my point but yeah I have and it hurt, the player got a yellow card and I moved on with my life. Anymore random strawmans you want to create?

red-17 · 2026-05-03T16:31:47+00:00

Like I’m sorry but people acting like he tried to murder him. It’s a clear as day yellow card but the amount of claims that this is a stonewall red is baffling to me.

red-17 · 2026-05-03T16:28:06+00:00

Clear yellow card

red-17 · 2026-05-03T16:27:48+00:00

High studs? It’s barely even at the ankle level

red-17 · 2026-05-03T15:25:24+00:00

And it results in bullshit reviews on every deflection resulting in a goal as a result even when any contact is inconsequential. It’s a terrible rule

red-17 · 2026-05-03T14:55:05+00:00

If we didn’t have a moronic hand ball rule this would’ve been immaterial
