Wegmans in Chantilly, VA has a massive Buffalo Bills merch display. Nearly double that of the @Commanders. No other NFCE, Steelers, or Ravens. @dcfoodsafety

If a new Sox park comes to be, please create something that is different than every other ballpark built in the last 35 years. Build an upper deck that puts the fan in the cheapest seat as close to the action as possible. Make it a destination for baseball fans everywhere that celebrates the team's rich history and that creatively makes space for suites in a way that doesn't send the average fan to the moon. It can be done. Check out this work from
@MLBcathedrals, @Travis_Sawchik and @architecturejks. A park like this would be the talk of the sports world.

It is simply untrue that stadiums generate "a massive amount of economic activity." NFL teams host only as many customers in a year as an average-sized American supermarket does (~700,000). In reality, stadiums spend almost their entire lives dark, empty & silent.
So we just lost the Chicago Bears over real estate taxes that the Bears have never paid in the history of the team. The local boards in Arlington Heights - who would’ve received those taxes - wanted to do the deal. Every team in the NFL gets tax breaks for a reason … these teams can go anywhere and they generate a massive amount of economic activity wherever they go.
The Bears will be moving to Indiana for one reason - Illinois is completely and wholly incompetent. The mere fact that - after all these years - they were scrambling at midnight to figure something out only highlights the point.
Democrats have cratered Illinois and nothing here is getting fixed without sweeping political change.
Vote red!

I hope people in Tampa are paying attention to what’s happening in Vegas.
One of the biggest corporations in gaming has been unable to finance a $1.2B development adjacent to the new MLB stadium.
Tampa, meanwhile, is just taking the Rays’ word that they can raise $10B???
A’s planning for potential for 2028 ballpark opening without Bally’s planned mixed-use project

It was an honor to work with @MLBcathedrals and @architecturejks on this vision for what a ballpark ought to be. I doubt there's anyone with Mark's historical ballpark knowledge, and Jack ought to be working for design/architecture firm. The combined effort would make for a new (and incredible) fan experience:
There is one great flaw that is present in almost every ballpark of the retro era: They’ve pushed us farther away from the game.
Take a look at how three ballpark enthusiasts imagine a new White Sox stadium: chicagomag.com/city-life/a-m…

Yesterday was the high, today is the hangover.
Can we stop pretending that spear isn’t supposed to be native imagery. You can’t say we are connecting our heritage with now and then act like that’s not a native reference. In the promo the spear literally jumps off an old helmet n flies to the new one

And who are the real natives the ones willing to sell their culture to billionaires and stupid ass fans
Ain’t no way I’d want someone else wearing face paint or feathers doing fake war chants mocking my culture for entertainment and commerce. That’s just me though.
Rob, with all due respect, as a black man, you should shut up and actually listen to what the REAL Native Americans are saying.

See, @kevinsheehanDC should have stopped his conversation at "maybe the old logo will return". Saying "it was never offensive" is priviliege personified. To say it was "never offensive" just to fit your narrative is ridiculous. There were many Native Americans that find the name offensive, and some that don't. But Kevin is in NO position to tell a group that doesn't look like him what's offensive and what's not. SMH
On new uniform day, @kevinsheehandc is not giving up on Washington's old logo returning: "We'll keep pushing. I personally think it's not dead."

"Never controversial" is just a flat out lie. I assume he's saying this for engagements.
NA protested NOT MY MASCOT "the logo" since the early 2000's.
The logo was controversial.

Thank you Tommy for proving why it can’t come back. The fans can always buy vintage merch. #Commanders @Markein
While the #Commanders want everyone to focus on their superstar young quarterback Jayden Daniels, if Trump has his way, the story that would define the organization will be the controversial #Redskins name and the politics around it. My column washingtontimes.com/news/202…

Was sent this from "Rebrand Racist Mascots" via statement
Co-Founder Ian Washburn “The franchise (#Commanders) is finally heading in the right direction. A reversion to the former name or imagery would be an embarrassment for the loyal fanbase.”
The shitstorm is never ending.

The name is never coming back and doin this is why I wasn’t for it. All that’s gonna do is fuel this nonsense even more
The alternate uniforms were a good start for many Washington fans, including @kevinsheehanDC, but sticking with the name Commanders remains a mistake
