Re: www.SaveOurOwners.com
If either of them had an ounce of intention of bolting town after this turd goes down, they would have laid out that threat a long time ago. Â The best they have been able to come up with is a vague offhand comment by Jack Steadman indicating a lukewarm interest in KCK. Â Well shiver me timbers! Â If there was a real threat of them moving out of town before the next ballot comes around, they would have said so. Âkcdcchef wrote: keep on telling yourself that, okay lenexa??

Re: www.SaveOurOwners.com
Bottom line is, I blame this city and this metropolitan area and its mentality and complete lack of vision for our problems (fragmented, lack of leadership, lack of critical mass etc), not the owners of the teams. Other than that, we are on the same page.

It's nothing but thuggish scare tactics, and whether I agreed with their viewpoint or not I would be disgusted with Glorioso's actions. Shame on you, dude.

LenexatoKCMO,
However in this case, the threat they will leave is REAL.
If they vote no on April 4th. It'll just show the stubbornness and idiocy of the citizens of Jackson County...
Johnson County: Meet the Chiefs
If you vote no, and the Chiefs decide to head to JoCo and Royals decide to move Downtown, you have one EXTREMELY harmful thing and one good thing...
However if you vote no... Chiefs stay and Royals stay, we get a Super Bowl and the world's largest rolling roof. This is really really good for Downtown and especially Jackson County.
__________________________________________________________________
If they leave, it won't be the owner's fault. It's going to be the idiots at the polls. And you know what? Your just going to conform with the foolishness of the rest of the metro area.

Re: www.SaveOurOwners.com
How are the Chiefs going to JoCo a horrible thing? We keep the teams in the metro. They'll still be the "Kansas City" Chiefs. You'll still have to drive or take a long bus ride to get to the game. KCMO and Jackson County won't be missing out on much revenue because there isn't any development around the stadium AND we don't have to pay for it anymore. If they want to go to JoCo, good for them!KCDevin wrote: what? you make no sense beautyfromashes...

True, libel and slandor are not protected speech. Â However, parody and artistic humor are. Â Look up Fallwell v. Hustler for the constitutional precedent that lampooning public figures through absurd representations is protected speech.

Re: www.SaveOurOwners.com
Devin--
You misunderstand the competition. Â We shouldn't be competing against Johnson county and Johnson county shouldn't be competing against us. Â We should raise our expectations. Â We should be trying to compete with Chicago or St. Louis or Dallas. Â Internal battling for metro businesses, being played by sports franchises and other interests against each other and spending huge amounts of money for the status quo is not in the best interest of the city. Â We should be trying to attract businesses from other cities and regions, promoting small business development, expanding tourism through destinations and improved transportation. Â We have a lot going to for us in the metro area that would be attractive to other people wanting to move here and, in turn, businesses. Â The problem is we are to busy fighting across the state line to go after any of it together. How is the Chiefs or Royals moving to Johnson County a bad thing? Â
Also, about Glorioso: How would someone on here like to be sued for satire or humor? Â It's a blind threat and insulting to anyone's intelligence that it would be successful. Â Only chef would believe it to be so.

Re: www.SaveOurOwners.com
Edited: Sorry I blew up like that...
Johnson County is taking businesses and residents from Downtown! All of the freaking businesses in Johnson County belong Downtown, not in cookie cutter crap campuses.
It would be the Overland Park Chiefs, not the Kansas City Chiefs. We might as well disown (if we could) the Chiefs if they went to Johnson County...
The only way the Chiefs would go to Johnson County is on these conditions:
They trade us the Chiefs for the following things:
Destroy their business campuses
Send Sprint, Executive Hills and all other companies to Downtown Kansas City
Allow residents and businesses to move to Downtown KC without offering tax breaks or anything to keep them in your county.
Stop offering tax breaks to companies to move to your county. If they do move there, encourage the larger companies to move to Downtown KC.
Then and ONLY then can they have the Chiefs.

The chiefs would never agree to put OP in their name because it limits their marketability; see Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim for reference.

Re: www.SaveOurOwners.com
However an acceptive alternative is to move the Chiefs to KCK... NOT the Speedway, rather between 5 highway and 56 highway. And State Line and 635...

I would be totally cool with the Chiefs in JoCo. Let them pay for it for the next 30-odd years, and I'll still watch the games on TV and have a good time.

Re: www.SaveOurOwners.com
What about the amount of business and retail that will mvoe to JoCo? That'd be away from jackson county and away from Downtown most importantly...
As far as i'm concerned, that fire hit the wrong part of Overland Park, it should have hit the campuses... Should have saved the historic part.

What businesses are you talking about? Compare the businesses and retail near the stadiums, with the businesses and retail far away from the stadiums, and I don't think you have much of an argument, bro.KCDevin wrote: What about the amount of business and retail that will mvoe to JoCo?
