I thought I read somewhere that blacks don't buy jerseys of white players. You'll never see a black person wearing a Tom Brady jersey for example, even if they're a Bucs fan.
2. There is a major difference between a manufacturing or IT-related business and a sports team. The Toyota Motor Manufacturing plant in San Antonio, for example, has almost 4,000 full-time employees. And that doesn't even include the thousands of people employed at other nearby businesses that wouldn't be there without Toyota. There isn't a professional sports team in North America that comes close to this when it comes to local economic impacts.
3. Of all the different types of sports venues you can consider, an NFL stadium has got to be the absolute worst when it comes to its value to a local economy. Even if it is home to a team that makes a deep run into the playoffs every year and hosts 30-40 other events every year not related to the NFL (concerts, soccer games, etc.), the place is going to be dark for more than 300 days of the year. Nobody is going to invest in a project across the street from that stadium under those circumstances.
Although, there were a lot of dogs named Brady.
The boys from the hood all wear Raiders gear.
I think Dallas Cowboys gear is still sold more than any other team paraphernalia. Frankly, it does not matter which team product you buy. It gets equally divided among all the franchises.
Arguing over pronouns?
Sounds like Communism.
Verbs..................😜
A lot. They don’t tend to be as direct as they are with the stadiums. But they regularly use eminent domain to clear large tracts of land. Redo freeways to make large buildings there usable.
I’m not saying cities SHOULD do that for sports teams. I’m saying I don’t blame sports team owners for taking advantage of the situation. If I could get multiple cities bidding to build me a new house I’d do it. Not my fault their city councils are stupid.
Charlie Rich does...
LOL
Zactly
We are OLD........................
Hah!

LOL!
From 1996: Picking on Dallas owner Jerry Jones after New York’s surprising victory over the Cowboys was fun for Giants owner Wellington Mara. "As I said, it’s always nice to see arrogance humbled," a smiling Mara said Monday in jabbing at the maverick owner. "I enjoy it very much. I wouldn’t mind if you used that quote."
Maybe I shoulda used that for the comedy skit. ;-)
Kraft is on his honeymoon. He just got married. Very attractive ophthamologist.

She should see an eye doctor.
It won’t last, but she did get Tom Brady’s phone number at the wedding...
Jones is “respected”?? Who knew?
