I’ll be Boycotting the NBA if the Blazers move
I’m so tired of ghoulish billionaires. I’m so tired.
The world is already bent to a breaking point to cater to these mentally ill hoarders. Dundon wants to use civic resources to make his wealth even bigger. He’s being open about it, and he will HAPPILY leave Portland if some other city is willing to commit political self harm on his behalf.
I don’t know how it is in other states, but where I live in Atlanta we’ve had our social services hollowed out by grant cuts and anti science/anti human policies. All in service of hyper wealth and the interests of ghouls like Dundon. There hasn’t been a time in America in the last decade where city tax dollars are more stretched.
The social contract is dangerously close to a rupture. Ultimately wether a team is in a specific market or exploiting another does not matter. There’s a billion larger issues to care about.
If the NBA is going to okay this brazen attempt at a civic wealth transfer, I gotta stop caring about it.
I grew up with a grandpa who idolized Walton and Russell. It’s high grade horseshit that Waltons legacy is going to be ripped away.
Juvenal wrote about Bread and Circuses all the way back in 100 CE. It’s incredible we are still struggling with this same bullshit.
I’m so fucking over it. I’m about to be over the NBA too.
Edit:
Do not confuse Juvenal (Roman Poet) with Juvenile (Southern Poet)
Removed one usage of the word ghoul.
