Sure. You’d think. You’d also think they’d find time to issue a legal warning for defamation. Something that could be done quickly.

They likely did issue a legal warning behind the scenes. I think her video has been taken down, so that would make sense.

Uh no. She’s actually gone further.

I’m not sure those posts are even still up. And she literally said she has no connection to the team in the second post.
Ignoring her so as not give someone so fringe a platform seems like a completely plausible strategy from the Chiefs.

We should build more green energy faster. The solution isn't less data centers, those are going to happen, its more green energy.

Speed up permitting, speed up confections to the grid, don't let green energy projects constantly be sued by people who don't want to move forward. 

We should build more green energy. You're absolutely correct. But I don't think it's inevitable that we forever let the data hoarders live unregulated. Google isn't providing new or useful services at anything like the rate they're building new data centers. They've become the digital equivalent of your smelly friend who doesn't take the trash out because they might accidentally throw away something from the third grade they think will make them rich in the future. I very much suspect it would be good for us all if they weren't allowed to build any more data centers but instead had to learn to use the storage they already have more efficiently.

Nuclear is the future. 

Bill Gates' company just broke ground on a new reactor in Wyoming:

Microsoft’s Gates breaks ground on novel nuclear power plant in Wyoming

The pilot Natrium nuclear power plant in Kemmerer will be the first of what TerraPower officials hope will be a worldwide fleet of new nuclear energy facilities.

^&^^Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm in favor of more nuclear power and weaning our country (our world) off carbon intensive and unsustainable energy production. I'm just also in favor of greater efficiency. The greenest building is the one you already have. The cleanest energy is the energy you save. We need greener power. But do we need more server farms? If they make life easier and more pleasant, maybe. But do they? I just think it's a fair question to ask, and one Google should very much be able to answer if they want more power.

Kansas bill offers bonding to cover 75% of cost to build Chiefs, Royals stadiums in Kansas
https://kansasreflector.com/2024/06/16/ ... in-kansas/

Some are construing the bill's structure is set up so that pretty much everything could be done in private and without public input.

Some fine print
Under the bill prepared for consideration by the Legislature, the secretary of the Kansas Department of Commerce would have authority to enter into a STAR bond agreement with no more than two professional sports franchises. The bill proposed sports business districts would be established by June 30, 2025, but a council comprised top legislative leaders and the governor could extend the deadline for one year.
A final agreement with the Royals or Chiefs would have to be approved by the same bipartisan council of politicians, which is known as the Legislative Coordinating Council. The LCC would possess authority to approve or reject the deals whether the Legislature was in session or not. The agreement wouldn’t be considered a public record until the LCC by majority vote accepted an agreement.

2 MLB teams, 2 NFL teams, 2 NBA teams and one NHL team.  That's seven franchises lost from the "big four" sports.  Technically you could add another NHL team (Blues weren't the first in StL).  Of those eight teams, only the Blues and Royals have replaced a team lost (yes, Rams replaced Cardinals but were also lost).  Kansas has lost how many?  None.  They've never had one to begin with!

Kansas also has Sporting Kansas City, yet another former Missouri professional sports franchise. 

As a KCMO resident, it’s actually kind of impressive how rapidly and unified Kansas officials are about this.

It was only 2 months ago that the sales tax vote in Jackson County failed. Kansas legislators, and Wyandotte County leaders, began swarming and scheming while Missouri and Jackson County officials were silent. The people in KCMO government I know met with the Royals in the interim. But when Kansas is offering Star Bonds to bring your team to their state, and KCMO/Jackson County was offering a sales tax, you’re likely to roll with the money just being handed to you.

I think the Chiefs are 100% moving across the state line. I also think there’s a slim chance the Royals remain on the Missouri side, but that’s fast collapsing. People in my circle are upset at the teams moving across State Lines. I don’t care as much because the voters voted and the politicians acted as they saw fit. These things have consequences.

Tragically funny that MO is dumping something like $50M into that stadium for a few week event while also preparing for a future where it sits empty. This would be a big fumble from KC(MO) leaders. 

Star Bond passed the Kansas Senate. Governor Laura Kelly praised the decision and will sign it.

Counting the St. Louis Eagles and their one season is technically correct, but silly. Just like the people try to count the All Stars and Gunners in our NFL loses. 

Completely agree.  Seven is the number.  And neither the Chiefs or Royals would really be lost as they'd still be in KC metro even if on the Kansas side.  All the other seven franchises relocated out of KC and StL to other markets.  Big difference.  Hey, let the Kansas side pony up the dough.  I seriously doubt Missourians in the area would stop going to games.  It's not like the Truman sports complex land couldn't be redeveloped and bring in revenue that might even exceed what it delivers now.

I don’t really care if the Chiefs or Royals leave Missouri because I have a strong dislike for KC sports (the Chiefs in particular). Missouri will still reap some economic benefit from both teams without being on the hook for future stadium costs.

To me it’s beyond embarrassing that two of their pro teams are moving from one suburban wasteland to another one on the other side of town, completely bypassing their downtown.

We are fortunate to have our sports downtown. KC has some catching up to do.

This particular rendering, like the one showing the Chiefs Stadium near the Legends Mall, is not official. Royals and Chiefs have not yet released anything pertaining to their future homes. This is meant to be a conversation starter while also being a bid to guide the team in a certain direction.

As far as Manica those, this has to be their most lazy rendering ever created. Looks like a combo of AI and some 5 minute architect work. Zero thought put into this. We’ll likely know more about where the Royals end up when their season is over.

More KC posts! How about, who gives a flying phukk about KC? They don’t care about us, in fact, most Kansas Citians I know despise STL…

^Well then it's easy enough for you to just skip the KC posts.

Huh?  

MLB - STL Browns & KC A's    
NFL - STL Cardinals & Rams   
NBA - STL Hawks & KC Kings
NHL - KC Scouts.    

No clue what teams you're talking about.
