Just a reminder, it's not the NBA/billionaire owners paying for this. It's the players union.

We didn't have state income tax when I lived there - pretty much everything was funded (and well!) by the entertainment tax - I think it's 25% - that the casinos and cathouses pay off the top. I can't see them agreeing to a rate hike to keep a competition from having to shell out more money.

The NFL doesn’t provide health care for former players after systematically destroying their bodies? Jesus, that’s cruel.

This headline is not representative of the story. This stadium would be for the Raiders.

Three hours at a football game is three hours that somebody is not gambling. Casinos aren't in the business of encouraging visitors to spend time outside.

Voting someone out of office yet sill facing a billion dollars in bond payments for the next 20 years, sure seems like a hollow victory to me.

Man shut the fuck up

i do not understand why people cannot accept that athletes who have been working their entire lives for this one opportunity aren’t going to let it go. it is so fucking ignorant

Then you are dumb as fuck. Thanks for commenting.

If you’re an Olympic athlete, training for these games is your job, and competing in them is your life’s goal. Pointing out that the host country sucked at completing facilities shouldn’t mean that you therefore have to leave and give up.

On a side note, how depressing and shitty is the town of Niagara Falls? What a shitfest. If you are reading this and thinking about going to the Falls, I implore you to stay on the Canadian side. You can get a shitty hotel room for cheap and then walk across a bridge to get into Canada, or you can just avoid the U.S.…

no problem Jer-Bear

very few

You had me up til the last sentence. That just made you seem like an insufferable tool.

This is most assuredly not a boneheaded decision.

while you’re making toast next, can you drop the toaster in a sink full of water and have at least one body part in there too?

Wow. So wrong. Axl's voice was ear poppingly good live, and he sounded the same live as on record. Please consult YouTube vids of Appetite era shows for proof. And Sorum was just a boring rock drummer. Adler fit the band far better (Yes, from a technical standpoint Sorum was better, but that misses the point).

@thePrototype: It's a sport that fosters creativity and outside of the box thinking. The goal is so difficult to ascertain that it takes individual brilliance or pure luck to score. In other sports if an individual decides to do something that hasn't been practiced a thousand times or pre-planned it often results in a…

@thePrototype: better than watching some 'roided up linebacker dance like a douche every time he makes a tackle.

@thePrototype: Awesome comment. Keep 'em coming.
