Bullshit but OK.

So it’s cool when dickbag Yankees fans don’t go to the games unless the team is a World Series contender (it’s been a while but trust me NYC fans are just as fair-weather as anywhere else) or when Dallas ignores the NBA before Cuban does because those aren’t bad sports towns. Why is DC a bad sports town?

because DC fans don’t even really care when the teams are GOOD. same with miami and LA and atlanta not selling out playoff games.

yankee fans just dont wanna get stabbed going to the stadium.

not true…NYC, chicago and dallas aint bad sports towns. it’s a way to insult cities where people are largely douchebags rife for liquidation (LA, miami) or imports (atlanta, DC, phoenix).

I’d say the difference is that, while all those cities absorb large quantities of newcomers every year, NYC, Chicago and Dallas tend to retain enough of their natives to have a signature identity. Meanwhile Atlanta, DC, Phoenix, LA or Miami have overpriced or driven away all their natives so that there’s no one set identity beyond “D-Bag Hell”.

And there was some kind of taxi sur-charge if you rode one to the stadium. Something about the cabs had to pay for the right to use the stadium roads or something strange. Maybe they were just telling me tales, but it was outrageous.

i think we all would not be shocked at anything greed-related

So the price to park has come down. I thought they told me $100. This was the first year of the stadium and for 4 of us to go and eat, their estimate had climbed to over $1,000. I’m an independent contractor, so they didn’t want to gig me.

In addition to being an hour drive from Dallas in moderate traffic, Arlington is also a shithole.

I was in Dallas one Monday night after the new stadium was up. I asked the clients if they wanted to go – my treat – and they laughed. “There’s no way your expense account could get more than 1 of us into the game.” They started outlining all of the costs just to get there: cab or parking, food, yada … then the tickets. Yikes.

We all went to a bar and watched.

Some good Flacco jabs.

i’m not trying.

there’s a tiger and the words ‘come closer’

at least once more miss swan

/15 more years w/o a playoff win

/that’s fucking fascinating

You’re not doing that right.
