Re: Breaking "Spygate" news
The above post is one of the funniest I have ever read.
1) Population of a politically gerrymandered city line means nothing.
- There are far more people living within 10 miles of downtown Boston than downtown Indianapolis.
- Those people are, per capita, FAR more wealthy than the gomers and goobers living in and around India-no-place.
- I'll spare you and not even comment on the intellectual and economic power disparities between the two populations.
2) What does BOSTON have to do with the comparison? Gillette Stadium is in Foxboro, MA. These are the New England Patriots. Your state has far more encroachment of Bears, Packers and Browns fans than the 6 states of New England have to put up with concerning the southern half of Connecticut for the NY teams.
3) Actually, Lucas Oil Field is owned by several lending institutions (many of them partially owned by the governments of China and the United Arab Emirates). When the STATE of Indiana finally pays off the bonds floated to finance the extortion perpetrated by Irsay (funny, "Boston" and Massachusetts never had that same knife to its throat taken seriously - - perhaps it was known that no franchise in it's right mind would leave?) then the STATE of Indiana will own their own paid for stadium.
Meanwhile, the man who built Gillette stadium in an undesirable place in Massachusetts is now building A 1.3 MILLION SQUARE FOOT mini city around it. So in summation, Massachusetts gives little ($73 million for roads and infrastructure) to vastly improve a hinterland area of its state, while Indiana pays through the nose and gives up prime downtown land in its largest city to stave of Irsay's team from moving. Yeah, Gomer, sounds like "advantage Indiana" to me!!!!!
4) Come to us with an argument when you can compare Indianapolis to Boston economically, intellectually, culturally, historically, architecturally, etc. But hey, you DO have NASCAR. Congrats. That puts you up there with Daytona, Florida and Biloxi, Mississippi.
