  1. How is this different from the New York Jets and Giants? East Rutherford, NJ is home to both professional football franchises in New York. The same Cook County Democrats that spent taxpayer money to renovate Soldier Field in the 90s, still run Chicago and the rest of Illinois.

    Some fun info about Wolf Lake that straddles the IL-IN border and is part of the area for the proposed stadium.
    “Wolf Lake has a history associated with criminal activity, including being a site where gangsters disposed of bodies. It was notably linked to the infamous thrill killers, Leopold and Loeb, who dumped the body of their victim, Bobby Franks, nearby. Additionally, it is known that organized crime figures used the lake for similar purposes during the early to mid-20th century.
    While specific details about the Chicago mob’s (Outfit) activities at Wolf Lake are not extensively documented, its reputation as a dumping ground for bodies aligns with the broader history of organized crime in the Chicago area.”
    Local lore has it that Wolf Lake is so polluted from chemical wastes, that a body starts dissolving when it hits the water.

  2. Elections have consequences. Chicago and Illinois gets what it voted for. The down staters are screwed, as they can’t out vote Chicago and Chicagoland (and East St. Louis) and have now been gerrymandered completely to the point I don’t think they can do anything.
    But, there were some positive signs during the last election:

    Democrats’ presidential victory margins in Illinois used to be around the 20 point range; no longer.

  3. Funny, I don’t recall so much consternation over the Oakland Raiders … or Oakland A’s moving to Vegas. Why? My guess is because the owners were cast as greedy capitalist sons of bitches who just wanted stadiums that weren’t toilet bowls in the ghetto with no parking. How dare they. The taxpayers aren’t gonna fund their playgrounds!

    Not to worry! The communist racists running the city of Oakland and The Coliseum Board has a BLACK buyers group who are buying the aged concrete toilet bowl in the ghetto …

    Ai:The African American Sports and Entertainment Group (AASEG) is in the process of acquiring the Oakland Coliseum, but there have been delays in finalizing the deal due to various complexities, including payment structures and legal issues. As of now, they have been granted additional time to complete the purchase, and there is no indication of a default at this time.

    Surrrre … the AASEG isn’t gonna default … and because they are BLACK … they’re gonna get extra time to buy the pig in a poke Oakland Ghetto Coliseum. Unh huh … just like the 2008 real estate lending debacle … Dem black folks just need a hand up … after all deys cantz even gits em some ID’s to votes.

    Nothing but decay is gonna happen to the Oakland Coliseum. Oh wait! No … there’s a replacement sport for MLB already … it’s Cricket! All those multi-culti Punjabis just LOVE Cricket. The new Oakland Diversity Coliseum.

    1. There are a HUGE number of Indian nationals in the SF Bay Area. I worked with several of them. And yes, they are all die-hard cricket fans.

      There is something endlessly amusing to me if any defunct stadium in American became a thriving center for cricket!

      1. Indeed … and MOST of em live in Fremont … just south of the Coliseum. Hey! I don’t understand it at all … but I’d enjoy watching at least ONE Cricket match. But … it’s rather pathetic how the Communists ruining Oakland actually BELIEVE some fringe “international” sport will replace the Raiders or A’s. Or the “Oakland Roots” B-league (read: rec. league/pub league) soccer will replace the Raiders and A’s

        You heard it here first … the Chicago communists will be doing the same thing … “who needs the NFL?” … they’ll claim AFTER they tried to sue them into staying.

  4. Doesn’t it boil down to which state, Indiana or Illinois, gives the most taxpayer money to millionaires?

    1. More like which state will increase the taxes on said millionaires and billionaires. And we know which state is set to do that.
      It’s almost like if you raise taxes the rich (and their companies) will just move — see NYC under Mamdani (and Hochul will probably do the same to the state after the midterms; she’ll run on not raising them).
