I hate that self-interested and spineless politicians play ball with the NFL as a platform for re-election. Where are they pork barreling the money into instead? Your argument works great in a philosophical world, not the one we live in. Have you ever read a piece of legislation and seen the ridiculous funding held within? Oftentimes completely unrelated to a bill in order to get it to pass. I agree with your spineless politician view, but playing ball with the NFL is far from the main reason. I have no problem with tax dollars being spent on stadiums. That is, until politicians can be trusted to handle money reasonably and not waste it endlessly. My point is, currently, the money is just being burnt anyways, it doesn’t matter what they burn it on. Edited January 18, 2020 by PetermansRedemption

Beast Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 I have no problem using public money for sports. At least then it is being used for something I enjoy, unlike generations of free-loaders on welfare.

They've managed to be relevant for decades. Sambora is a phenomenal guitarist and I can guarantee you that Jon Bon Jovi has a better voice than the majority of your favorite singers. You can hate the guy for "plotting to move the Bills to Canada," but don't let your ignorance opine that he and his band aren't legitimately talented and successful.

Training camp is in Rochester. It's flat, plenty of parking spaces. No high downtown land acquisition cost. Cuomo may come up with a Batavia Billion. There may be some dots there. 1
Helpmenow Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 I would Pegula would want to have things connected downtown ice arena, football and everything else there not in frickin Batavia
/dev/null Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 If the stadium leaves Orchard Park, they should do it like Stargate Atlantis
