Jackson County Stadium Tax Critics Scold Royals Owner John Sherman

The annoucment of Kansas City Royals hoping to relocate in the Crossroads has sparked an outpouring of criticism and rebuke via social media. 

Most of it is reactionary garbage from drunk uncles who barely understand their property tax bills, there's some thoughtful resistance but not a lot of information given that the home team STILL isn't sharing many deets with the public. 

Nevertheless . . . 

A recent post that has garnered more than 500 comments, thousands of shares and a ton of likes and it's worth noting. The missive doesn't really tell us anything new but seems to have captured the imagination of all of the old school denizens of Zuck's app. 

Accordingly . . .

Lee's Summit Digital Creator Adam Brown wrote this in a public post on Facebook: 

"IT'S NOT REALLY ABOUT THE STADIUM!"

He explains his perspective and/or economic theory . . .

"Royals owner, John Sherman, is worth more than a billion dollars and is the founder and CEO of an energy company that merged with another in 2013 to become one of the biggest in North America. The stadium complex the Royals want to build will cost around $2 billion, but it includes things like a hotel, a conference center and various entertainment venues. So it’s not just a park Sherman wants KC residents to foot the bill for, it’s also businesses that will continue to pad his bank account far into the future. Sherman clearly figures that, hey, what red-blooded baseball-loving American wouldn’t want to pay for a billionaire’s further enrichment?"
