What does this even mean?

Kids really don't watch sports anymore. It is an old man's thing.

What if the Sox had kept all these aces?

Thome did it like....7 straight seasons??

...are you French? Because I have no idea how one gets into this genre otherwise. Lol

Imagine thinking this team might be a .500 team. Lmao. They are losing 100+ EASILY.

In a season you are probably losing 100 games a decent bullpen arm is the definition of worthless.

No argument here. It was more the point that they paid for the infrastructure to support their business themselves. Now they all want handouts from taxpayers that see little to no benefit from it.

The question is what happens when everyone tells these rich greedy owners to pound sand and put their money where their mouth is? That's actually the answer. If it is such a guarantee why don't you finance all the costs? See, that's actually how this country used to work. Big business and rich people used to build ENTIRE TOWNS AND COMMUNITIES out of their own pocket. Now they want all of us to subsidize their goals. f***. Them. Prove you are going to create jobs and generate revenue for my area that is actually worth it. But they don't. And they never do. Because they know they can get idiots to subsidize their vanity projects. There should be rioting in the streets over AI datacenters as there is ZERO benefit to anyone outside of the already filthy rich. But here we are.

Why do people who already have jobs, and likely much better jobs than these theoretical "jobs created" from the Bears moving, give a s%*# about this? I sure don't. All I know is my taxes are going to go up and I won't see any benefit whatsoever as a result. It all goes in the Bears' pockets. Also, this "jobs created" by new stadiums has proven to be bullshit repeatedly.

Also, people need to stop watching Fox "News". Or just continue to s%*# yourself anytime you drive through a neighborhood where minorities live. The most dangerous parts of the country are pretty much all found in RURAL America. PER CAPITA is an important part of statistics. Crime is also down EVERYWHERE in this country, even if the media wants you to believe otherwise. The data is readily accessible to anyone who gives a damn. Try reading sometime.

Why should the people who live in that area pay for infrastructure upgrades that are only needed because the Bears are building a stadium there? What do they get out of it, outside of increased taxes, traffic, headaches, and everything around them being torn up and under construction? This mentality is why 60+ million Americans are eating huge electricity price increases so trillion dollar companies have enough power for their fucking AI data centers. Which, ironically, will just put more Americans out of work. Rich people are the average Joe's enemy and the quicker people figure this out, the sooner we can start clawing back money from the massive, ever increasing wealth inequality. The Bears want a new stadium, then pony up the money for EVERYTHING that requires or get fucked. We are all tired of subsidizing rich people.

This was always the outcome, by the way. Nobody was going to pay what Robert is actually worth, with how he was performing. And if he was performing to his potential, the White Sox weren't trading him. There is a zero percent chance of the Sox winning any trade that involved Robert.

It has some nice pieces but this is still one of the worst teams in baseball by pretty much every metric.

I would not be even remotely surprised. His "sale" is structured the way it is specifically to milk the club for everything it is worth.
