The Kansas City World Series "economic impact" debate is one we're not having because most people realize that the MLB has mostly rigged the stats to such outrageous proportions that touting them almost seems like parody. Almost . . . Kansas City is raking in a lot of cash because of the World Series

You can't like this. It's positive news.
ReplyDeleteIt's positive for KC but more money for City Hall means more pet projects for Sly and his goons.
ReplyDeleteThere is NO economic impact. People didn't actually buy all those T-shirts and other clothing. People didn't actually drop all that money at McFadden's, other bars and restaurants. Those parking people and vendors didn't actually work at the K for all those playoff games and World Series games that wouldn't have been held if the Royals hadn't gone into the post season. The grounds crew didn't actually work those extra games. Nope. There is no economic impact at all.
ReplyDelete"Careful What You Wish For"
ReplyDelete[Verse 1]
So this is it...
This is what I wished for
Just isn't how I envisioned it
Famed to the point of imprisonment
I just thought the shit'd be different
But something changed
The minute that I got a whiff of it
I started to inhale it
Smell it
Started sniffin' it
And it became my cocaine
I just couldn't quit
I just wanted a little bit
Then it turned me (in) to a monster
I became a hypocrite
Event after event
I was raking in the dough
Rolling in green
Had the game hemmed up
Like a sewing machine
But I was losing my freedom
There was no where for me
To not go and be seen
And just go and be me
And there was no in-between
You either loved it or hate it
Every mayoral critic gave me a 3, then 3
Years later, they'd go back and re-rate me
And call the Fat Sly KC's the greatest
That Sylvester James was a classic
The Dancin' Sly Show was fantastic
But Encore just didn't have the caliber to match it
I guess enough time just ain't passed, yet
A couple more years, that shit'll be ill-matic
And eight years later, I'm still at it
Divorce, re-married
A felon
A father
Sleeping pill addict
And this is real talk
I feel like the Incredible Hulk
My back has been broke, and I can still walk
[Chorus]
So be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it
And if you get it then you just might not know
What to do wit' it, 'cause it might just
Come back on you ten-fold
You clods don't seem to realize that the entire US economy is now based on smartphones and snackfoods.
ReplyDeleteThe county GIVES 2 Million a year to the stadiums. So 29 losing years times 2 equals 58 million that has been invested and so they still come out losers.
ReplyDeleteShould I be expecting a tax refund now?
ReplyDeleteOf course Slyme the Tap Dancin Minstrel didn't have diddly dick to do with any of it, but you can bet he'll be standing there grinning like the village idiot and taking credit for it. Just be sure to leave some of the credit to Black Beaver Cleaver; his ego will expect some massaging, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a paradox, we spend millions getting snubbed by the Republican convention folks and only a few more million on stadiums. We are really raking it in alright.
