Man, it seems like the Braves-related news just isn’t stopping these days. I’m beginning to feel like my offline brog is getting a little saturated with a singular topic, but then again, I’m off-fucking-line, so there’s really no concerns that anyone but myself is ever going to recollect these words, because I would wager money that anyone who returns to my brog one day will glaze over any subjects like this one.
BUT, it took an actual news investigation to conclude that ScumTrust Park might not be anywhere near close to “paying for itself.”
I mean… no shit. The sky is also blue, water is also wet, and I wish I had more disposable income.
I have to say the teaser video did kind of intrigue me, because it not only cites ScumTrust Park as an example of how the Braves fleeced local taxpayers into paying for their ballparks, but also two of the three minor league facilities that house Braves affiliates, the one in Jackson, Mississippi, and then the one right up the road in Lawrenceville, the respective homes to the AA-Braves and the AAA-BravesStripers. Yeah, they’re struggling too, after the Braves duped those towns into building their crappy ballparks as well.
I can’t say that I’ve been compelled to watch the news, but I have to admit that I’m intrigued by this story, and might actually have to make an effort to check it out on television. Or hope the actual video report up online for convenient viewing, because I kind of want to watch it.
But it’s not like it’s going to be anything remotely a revelation for me, I am however curious to see what the rest of the sheep think about the topic, considering it’s taken them over a year to realize that it perhaps wasn’t the best idea in the world to undertake a baseball stadium.
