I have a favor to ask from rich people in Massachusetts? [View all]

First the Patriots threatened to move to Connecticut if public funds weren't plowed into a new stadium; they even signed a contract to move. We said "don't let the door hit your ass on the way out". They stayed.

Then the Red Sox wanted all sorts of public help to build a new stadium. We laughed. They stayed.

And now the Olympics? LOL! Did you people somehow think we got stupider about this scam in the past decade?

Can you rich people stop trying to steal our money using sports venues? It doesn't work, it makes you look foolish, and it wastes valuable newspaper and Internet bandwidth. Maybe buy another team in another state, this nonsense seems to work everywhere else. But not here.
