Yes, but let’s hold our elected officials to a higher standard than we hold our sports teams to.

That’s impossible to read in dark mode. FYI, bro

Dark mode you say . . . How do I turn that on? I just checked every setting I could find for it! 

[Wire Dawg]

Well, enough searching and I found it "To switch to the dark theme, simply scroll to the bottom of the screen, click "themes" then choose "dark huddle"

To be fair, most politicians are also shady business owners or have very close relationships with shady business owners.

And the NFL is one very shady business. Somehow exempt from anti-trust legislation, a pure monopoly and essentially a 21st century plantation operation paying its workers a poo-ton of money to pick that TV revenue cotton.

Good luck with that.

One of them represents themselves, the other represents the people they were elected to represent.

If I'm on any city council I'm laughing them out of the room 100% of the time.

Everyone is in it for themselves. Elected officials are no different.

What would be the point of Tepper conning them in a deal that would never work while spending $80 mil to begin construction?

What would be the point of Tepper handing Rhule $70 million to go 10-39?

Well that doesn’t sound like Tepper was innocent in the shitshow.  Sounds like he was part of it. 
 

yet I’m sure the Tepper/Rhule fans boys will make poor David Tepper out to be the victim

Tepper just doesn’t know what he is doing.  It’s getting well established.  
 

he rushed into the RH deal just like he rushed into Rhule.  

[Ja Rhule]

York County does not just want $21M back they spent but they want $80M from Tepper for loss revenue.  They accuse him of fraud and scamming public funds.  Court in Delaware will decide what to do.  If they find Tepper breached contract, RH and York county will take him to cleaners.

Then they need to be citizens again, and be booted from office.

The RH agreed to the terms of this Batshit deal before they knew they could get any funding. The level of incompetence from everybody involved in this is insane to me.

Not only that but they all schemed to get around state oversight because they knew the terms were bad for the people of RH.

250 mill for 150 jobs and a property with a 7.5 mill tax assessment.

LOL

Everyone involved is an idiot for thinking this wouldn’t be noticed.

So shady.
