E Sports are fun to compete in and watch.

In live action sports we already want to eliminate human officiating mistakes and replace them with technology. We want managers to stop with the "human gut decisions and hunches" and use computer based decisions. Isn't replacing players the logical next step?

By the time we get to replacing human players it will be by fan demand and the young fans will be laughing and mocking the generation that wants to keep things the same.

Don’t see it George.

Throwing a little gas on the fire.

JR Two teams and seven championships as an owner.

Ishbia Brothers, five teams, four as owners or part owners, one championship as an amateur player at Michigan.

You have the wrong college. They are both Spartans, which makes me like them even more. Fùck Michigan.

Yet here you are praising Jerry, when this is exactly how he got rich. Hell, he got other people to put up 80% of the purchase of the Chicago White Sox, and had other people build him, not one, but two baseball stadiums in the 1980s. The same guy who was absolutely ready to abandon Chicago for St Pete if he didn't get a stadium build for him by taxpayer funds.

Jerry Reinsdorf has been wanting to move the Sox out of their historic home since Justin Ishbia was in grade school. And when he was told in 1988 that he would only get a taxpayer funded stadium if it was built at the current location, he saw to it that the stadium was separated from the Bridgeport neighborhood with a sea of parking lots because he wanted fans to do all their spending inside the stadium, where he'd reap all the profits, and not in the surrounding area. Now that we're nearing the end of the stadium's lease, he's been very public in his desire to move the team away from the current location to the 78. None of this is opinion, it's reality.

Would the Sox be better off moving to the South Loop? Well, BOTH Jerry Reinsdorf and apparently Justin Ishbia think so. The difference is that the former wants taxpayers to pay for a new stadium. Sell the team to someone else other than Ishbia when Jerry passes and I'd be willing to bet they'd come to the same conclusion. It doesn't matter how many turds a single poster keeps dumping on the idea, that's been the (very successful) MLB stadium trend for the last 30 years - build a ballpark that has or will have a lot of night life around it. The "surround the stadium with acres of surface lots because all fans want to drive to the game" business model doesn't work anymore.
