Home Crew Coalition: DOOM!! Send $400 Million!!

This is amusing.  Begin at 1:30 or so on this video.

..."What if we lose them, right? We're trying to be a Tier 1 city; we can't lose a Major League Baseball team," Shaikh said. "And then what happens to the facility if the Brewers go? Not saying that's gonna happen, but I think they're a fabric of our community."...

Shaikh owns a restaurant downtown.

Gee, Omar.  Did Milwaukee dry up and blow away after the Braves left?  You weren't even born when that happened, pal.  And while we're at it, what is a "Tier One city"?  Is that a city that has an MLB team, and all the rest are.......ahhh.....third world?  Tell that to DesMoines, or Omaha, or Austin, or Columbus, none of which have MLB, NBA or even a nearby NFL 

Final quiz question:  Did the Brewers make the City of Milwaukee grow?  (Hint:  NO)

The leadership of the Home Crew Coalition is exactly what you'd expect:  a former Selig lieutenant, two minor-league baseball team owners, a couple of trades-union guys,  and one GOP Establishment figure.  Surely they can cobble together a few hundred million in loans and make a donation.

Nah.  Their preferred method is to hold Government's gun to your head and shake you down.

  1. Don't forget Milwaukee replaced the old stadium with a baseball stadium.

    The Packers used to play a few home games in Milwaukee until 1994.

  2. Maybe that's what should be demanded......have the Packers back for their 3 or 4 Milwaukee games.

    It was Bud Selig who KO'd the Packers games, by the way.
