A Midwestern Reader Writes, on “Washington, D.C.: Black Gangs Target White Fans After Nationals Games”

 
See: “Washington, D.C.: Black Gangs Target White Fans After Nationals Games”

“White fans need to boycott Nats games. (“White fans” and “fans” are here synonyms, since “Chocolate City” blacks see the Nats merely as a source of income through jobs and crime, but do not support the team. Then again, how is this city different from all other baseball cities?)

For Nicholas:

Comiskey Park in Chi was the same way. Always negroes harassing whitey for tips to watch the car, etc. And if you walked east you could be set upon just in reaching the El tracks at 35th St. That was when Taylor homes was still in place, and you had to walk a gauntlet to reach the El station.

When they built the new Cellular Field they just bulldozed everything within a half mile of the ball park to make it "safer". I understand they did the same at Yankee Stadium.

I reply,

I see that I made a mistake: That should be “but do not support the team.” I just made the correction.

I wasn’t aware of the bulldozing, but it makes perfect sense. There is no point in making a billion-dollar investment, if it is going to be destroyed by the neighborhood scum. Although I do not support eminent domain for allegedly private undertakings, such neighborhoods typically have properties that are either publicly owned (projects or parcels/homes in property tax default), or belong to private owners who wish they could sell, but can’t because the neighborhood is so unlivable.

On the other hand, I’d just as soon see no new stadiums, than see them subsidized by the taxpayer, who has no control over them, and gets no return on his investment. (Sports stadiums bring no net economic return to the communities that pay for them, but simply re-channel pre-existing spending habits. And since they add over $1 billion in costs, they are bottomless money pits for tax payers.)
