Let's not forget about Kansas City class disparity amid local Royals mania.
Fun fact . . .
KC Biz Journal: "The average ticket price for ALDS Game Three in Kansas City on Oct. 5 is currently $366.73 . . . That makes it the third highest ticket price for a sporting event in Kansas City in the past five years."
In and of itself the high ticket prices aren't such a bad thing . . . Fools are allowed to waste their money in whatever way they see fit.
However . . .
WHAT MAINSTREAM MEDIA NEVER LAMENTS IS THAT KANSAS CITY BASEBALL CELEBRATION IS MOSTLY SUBSIDIZED BY THE BROKE-ASS PEOPLE OF JACKSON COUNTY . . . MOST OF WHOM COULD NEVER AFFORD A TICKET TO A PLAYOFF GAME!!!
It's not about racism, just demographics.
The stadium is filled with middle-class white people from the burbs but it's mostly paid for by urban core minority denizens and regressive sales taxes . . . The admission and concession costs are a mere pittance . . . Pro-Sports is funded by big government and in Kansas City it's mostly po'folk brown people picking up the tab. Natch.
why are you throwing that on white people? why be a racist? you like the "white" women well enough .. white is no longer right TK just ask any non white .. you can usually find them burning down, tagging, stealing, home invading in most inner cities
ReplyDeleteIt's shameful but expected that David Glass does not allow some priority to Jackson County residents for available tickets. Whether it's taking luxury tax money or sales tax money, David Glass is the biggest welfare mooch of all. He embodies the word greed.
ReplyDeleteHalf of those poor brown folk COULD afford a ticket IF they put down the crack pipe and got a real job. Drug dealer or gang banger does not qualify as a job.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there was tax on crack.
ReplyDeleteThese are secondary market prices.
ReplyDeleteIts called supply and demand.
This is typical for all playoff seats everywhere.
Just can't stand the positive vibe for more than 8 hours?
" in Kansas City it's mostly po'folk brown people picking up the tab. "
ReplyDelete"mostly"?
Absolute bullshit.
Poor whites actually work. They pick up the tab for Glass, the Royals AND da bruthas sittin on dey asses collecting dat EBT.
ReplyDeletePoor whites also don't get any preference for all those MAKE WORK government jobs either, so, they pay for that shit too.
ReplyDeleteYou can't be serious? I long for the day that I see the "po brown folks" picking up the tab for anything used by whitey. You know very well that it's just the other way around. And while the playoff games may be a different animal, most of the footage shown when fans are leaving the stadiums show lower-class proles with a beer and one hand and the index finger on the other hand pointed to heaven as they hoop and yell for the camera. I don't think this description fits to many middle-class people from the burbs.
ReplyDeleteAgreed with 400, the lower-class dirty-assed proles generally seem to always be able to scrounge up enough folding money for sporting events.
ReplyDeleteI heard on KMBZ news that the KC Polease Dept. said yesterday was the most quiet Tuesday in months and they think the playoff game kept crime down.
ReplyDeleteI kid you not. That was an actual news report.
My,my..isnt 4:oo quite the presumptuous little cunt..
ReplyDelete@4:10
ReplyDeleteThis was also mentioned on TMZ, the celebrity gossip site.
As for pro sports, yes, we taxpayers subsidize their facilities and operations. In other words, our tax dollars fund what is supposed to be our entertainment. The system is comparable to Ancient Rome's bread and circuses. I highly suggest to pick up the book "Free Lunch" by David Cay Johnston for elaboration on how we subsidize corporations.
Slow news day. Tony decides to create a non-existing controversy.
ReplyDeleteI'm white and can't afford a ticket....but I feed my family, keep the house in good repair and PAY MY taxes. I hope all you suburban folk enjoy my stadiums and parking lots. Won't see you there.

Friend... Have you heard the word of God today?
DeleteI ordered mine online Sept 18 - got a pair for....$46 each.
ReplyDeleteOne would have to be a huge moron to think tickets would be cheap.
ReplyDeleteBlack is beautiful, tan is grand, but white be the color of the big boss man!!!!
ReplyDelete"Pro-Sports is funded by big government and in Kansas City it's mostly po'folk brown people picking up the tab."
ReplyDeleteUmm, then maybe brown folk should vote people in who want to lower their taxes. Maybe brown folk in KCMO shouldn't be so stupid and vote in every tax increase out there. Maybe brown folk should get jobs so they can have the money for tickets.
Hey, TKC dumb ass. If you don't want to pay $366.00 to see the game in person, just watch it FREE on TV. Yeah, I know that's pretty cheap but I can buy some decent weed, a couple of 30 packs, a quart of Jack, and still have hooker money left.
ReplyDeleteFuck. This is easy. Fuck the Royals, fuck baseball, and fuck $366.00 tickets to anything. I got beer, weed and pussy with money in my pocket and I watched the game with replays without some stupid fuck laying a puke coating on my high school all state jacket I borrowed from my sister.
I make $150k per year in KCMO and I can't afford to take my kids to the game.
ReplyDeleteI'm white so I have to send them to a $15K per year private school.
We should have free day at The K. What could possibly go wrong?
ReplyDelete$366 a ticket and we are footing the bills at the sports complex? Damn we need to change that county government.
ReplyDelete8:46 needs to move his ass to the burbs, send the kids to public school, and then enjoy these games!!!
ReplyDeleteI am always amazed at the logic of some Jackson Co. residents. They hate and resent a JoCo resident for buying Chiefs/Royals tickets on one hand, then turn around and talk about how we need to attract tourism to bring more bucks into the city.
ReplyDeleteIs the money from Omaha or Des Moines somehow different than the money from Leawood? It is all money coming into KC. Leawood residents spend money in Mo for shopping, dining, entertainment, groceries, and medical care. Look at the cars at Price Chopper at 103rd and State Line. Half of them have Kansas plates.
Willie Sutton was once asked why he robbed banks. His answer was "because that's where the money is." Businesses, sports teams, charties, and churches tend to go "where the money is." Why do you think that there is only 1 small synagogue left in KC? Why do you think that all the others have moved to JoCo?
Big-titted white women -- first choice of "men of color" the world over.
ReplyDeleteNeighborhoods where white people don't live tend to be crime-ridden and dirty. Wonder why?
ReplyDelete3:27 IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I hope both the Royals and Chiefs move to Kansas. Then you poor, put-upon Jackson County folks will have nothing to complain about!!
Yes, 3:27 is right.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing to me that KCMO people complain about Kansas people.
We come over to Missouri and spend our money and you bitch about it. And if we happen to work in Missouri, you slap on an "earnings" tax because we are tearing up your precious streets and causing a big workload for your police.
Yet Missourians working in Kansas don't have to pay an earnings tax, and I never hear complaints about all the damn Missourians going to Sporting Kansas City and T-Bones games.
What a loser mentality Jackson County has!!
