Bears Stadium news

This entire process has been so indicative of the inequality of our society. The Bears and the NFL can pay for the stadium with cash if they want. It's not a one-time payment. Building costs are incremental with the work completed. Or the Bears could get a loan from the NFL and finance it. They don't even need to go outside of the league. Instead, they want the people to pay for it. It's all horsefeathers. 

You're spot on. The last thing the NFL wants is for a team to set a precedent by having to finance it's own stadium. That would prompt other cities who have teams to say... "Hey... they did it without government subsidies... why can't you?"

The Bears did not do themselves any favors the way they lobbied for a new stadium. And now they... especially Kevin Warren... look like fools. 

And I'm OK with that!

Career criminal, shouldn't have resisted, was high, etc. etc. The usual horsefeathers that people say to diminish that the cops killed him. 

Ding ding ding.

The comments were basically about how Chicago burned down in the riots and roving gangs of kids were looting Indiana towns because a cop was doing his job.

As much as I can't stand Warren or the McCaskeys in all this, Brandon Johnson has been the abject worst person in these negotiations.  It's mind-boggling that someone that stupid is the mayor.  Say what you will about Lori, Rahm, and Daley, they ranged from bureaucratically overmatched to outright corrupt, but they weren't dumb.

Yeah man. It sucks that "too stupid to be corrupt" is the best Chicago can hope for
