TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! SHAME!!! KANSAS CITY MAYOR SLY'S TEAM REJECTS HOCKEY IN FAVOR OF COMMUNITY CENTER AMID KEMPER ARENA TALK!!!

While City Hall still attempts to try and figure out what to do with Kemper, AWESOME INSIDERS reveal that the Administration of Mayor Sly James favors YET ANOTHER community center instead of a more ambitious plan that could bring hockey back to Kansas City proper.

Background . . .

There are two competing plans for Kemper Arena.

The Foutch Bros have a "youth sports hub" in mind read: Yet another Kansas City community center.

Meanwhile, the plan from Wichita's Steven Bros is more ambitious and not only includes hockey but also a Hispanic music venue, boxing and even MMA events . . . Turning Kemper Arena back into a local attraction rather than another money losing line item.

And here's where things get ugly . . .

MAYOR SLY'S ADMINISTRATION FAVORS PUSHING THE CITY HALL INSIDER FOUTCH COMMUNITY CENTER PLAN INSTEAD OF OPENING UP THE BIDDING PROCESS!!!

The Foutch contingent is represented by Northland Super lawyer John Fairfield and we can't help but notice that Foutch is earning a great deal of school district and city biz as of late . . . Their winning is deserved for the most part and the innovative company certainly is on the upswing. However, even a cursory view of Kemper's finances and maintenance needs reveal that their community center plan is a loser.

Sadly . . .

THIS KANSAS CITY INSIDER DEAL STUBBORNLY SUPPORTED BY MAYOR SLY'S ADMINISTRATION DOESN'T ADD UP IN THE LONG RUN!!! AND MAYOR SLY'S OFFICE SEEMS TO BE USING CITY STAFF AS HIRED GOONS IN ORDER TO SUPPORT HIS MISGUIDED OPINION!!!

The point here is that very few people @ 12th & Oak have the courage to stand up and tell the Mayor that he's wrong. His myth of popularity persists even if has only been won by competition against some homeless guy who only raised a few hundred dollars to campaign against just about every corporation and law firm in Kansas City.

Accordingly . . .

There are still proponents of this deal but Mayor Sly's inability to think outside the box when it comes to Kemper threatens to leave Kansas City with another doomed community center rather than a venue that could actually attract a paying crowd.
