Publicity Stunt: Kansas City Royals Boss Sherman Surrenders On Oak

About today's big reveal relentlessly broadcast across mainstream media . . . 

KANSAS CITY ROYALS & MAYOR Q CONDUCT FAKE NEWS PUBLICITY STUNT AHEAD OF QUESTION 1 SHOWDOWN!!!

Again . . . We don't care how readers vote on this one . . . However . . .

THIS CROSS-CHANNEL HYPE STINKS OF DESPERATION & REVEALS MAYOR Q MIGHT HELP LOSE THE BASEBALL TEAM BY WAY OF ACTIVISTS HE HELPED TO EMPOWER!!!

It's like a parable . . . Only stupider. 

And so . . . 

Our TKC blog community is the only news-y outlet to call shenanigans on this fake progress that's not in writing and will likely help embolden so many activists looking to secure a greater share of sleazy dark money contributions.

The only thing we know for sure . . .

There are no "good guys" in this discussion . . . Just more people conducting publicity stunts for money, power & other prizes.

Also . . . 

We're not sure if this is "good faith" effort to strengthen Democracy when people have already started voting on this hot mess.

With that . . . Here's the statement from the new boss who might be making travel plans already . . .

“We have been listening to members of the Crossroads community and had thoughtful conversations with the Mayor and City Council to improve the ballpark district impact," Royals Chairman and CEO John Sherman said in a statement released by the Committee to Keep the Chiefs and Royals in Jackson County. "Through these conversations we have come to realize the importance of keeping Oak Street open."

The proposed stadium is planned to be built between Locust Street and Grand Boulevard, east to west, and from Truman Road to 17th Street, north to south. 

Sherman said the decision to keep Oak Street open comes after speaking with Kansas City, Missouri, Mayor Quinton Lucas, members of city council and members of the Crossroads community.

"We acknowledge Oak Street is an integral part of the downtown experience, and therefore we agree to change the ballpark district design to keep Oak Street open," Sherman said.
