Not Lombardi when he was in his prime, but a lot like he looks today.

Funkhouser is a ****ing idiot. We were better off when he was distracted by his constant fighting with the city council because he couldn't bear to go to work without momma at his side.

And how many articles a year are made about the teams leaving? It's not going to happen. I'm glad Kansas Citians are more worried about the sports teams opposed to the side streets not being plowed because the city can't afford it.

Funkhouser was the one that came up with that stupid idea. He seriously is a joke of mammoth proportions.

Fans should always fund sports, 'not' city governments.

Then all these stupid demands for new stadiums every few years would end.

I'm not a fan of Funkhouser but Kansas City's problems are more than just Funkhouser.

No, sports teams shouldn't get city funds.

However, there's always another city that would be more than happy to build a new stadium and give them a subsidy to bring the NFL into town.

It's a continuing cost to keep the team. You're always competing against the alternatives.

The city gets way more money in tax revenue than they pay in subsidy, anyway.

Exactly. How can he not realize that the Chiefs bring in a shit ton of money to the city? That is so so so shortsighted. And billay, you need to shut the **** up, you reeruned monkey.

No doubt the economy hasn't helped but he still is an idiot.

What he doesn't get is the voters passed the tax so they could keep the Chiefs and Royals and the city would have to make a minimum contribution each year.

KCSupersized 02-11-2010 04:44 PM

Maybe he can pay back the city the money spent to fight lawsuits that arose because his wife!

ChiefsCountry 02-11-2010 05:09 PM

How come you KC folks havent voted that clown out yet? He is pretty much reeruned.

There was a recall petition last year, but it barely fell short on the number of signatures needed. That was a pity, because Funkhouser is a jackass.

POND_OF_RED 02-11-2010 05:17 PM

Wonderful idea. I mean Arrowhead and Kauffman don't bring in any sort of revenue for this city. :rolleyes:

KCbroncoHATER 02-11-2010 05:27 PM

Mayor Funkhouser saved this city from the developers. You want to bitch about someone go look up that old broad that gave away millions in tax revenue to them.

As for him holding back the money from the Chiefs, good for him. Let them figure how pay to "up keep" the stadium. There is no fear of them moving anywhere for the next 20 years. Hell Clark just build new offices for staff, why would he leave and lost all that money? Which was way more than 2 million.
