If @MLB is going to ask for public interest in stadiums, they need to offer public interest in their teams.
Manfred is a professional extortionist on behalf of 30 billionaires. It must stop!

NEW: It's now more lucrative to have a losing sports team than a championship team.
We examined the Boston Red Sox to see how private equity and cost cutting invaded sports.
In this era, teams want to sell good players for profit more than they want to have a good season.
But don’t worry. The A’s will sell out every home game from all of the visitors and locals.
Numbers are probably just down because the A’s aren’t there yet, right my bootlicking friends?
Las Vegas saw its fewest number of visitors in four years during 2025. Visitation was 38.5 million, a decline of 7.5% from 2024. December, despite several major events and the NFR, saw a 9.2% visitation drop.
Hotel occupancy, roomrates & RevPar were off.

This is the last MLB game I attended… I don’t have any plans to go to another.

The only way the pregame will escape A’s Cast menace, @joebhorton is by moving it to the shed! #FJF

“Moving for dummies.”
Tigers ain’t holding back with the AAA’s in town.
Had the Moneyball sign yesterday as well.
The A’s held their Las Vegas stadium groundbreaking this week—a major public milestone. But when you step back, the picture that emerges is less about construction progress and more about optics. Here’s why from a capital markets banker’s perspective. 🧵

Until that happens—until the design is locked, the costs are hedged, the permits issued, all funding is secured, and steel hits the site—this stadium remains a plan on paper. A groundbreaking doesn’t change that on its own. There was nothing “groundbreaking” about it.
