Make it retractable with a natural surface, adding allllllll the bells and whistles/amenities and I think it would be ****ing great, not to mention the increased potential to be a landing spot for massive events like the SB, Final Four, etc...

Instead he's saying things like we're all one and changing his hashtag from #KCMO to #KansasCity. It's all ONELOVE, now that you've lost.


I don't live in Kansas but it certainly is funny how his message is angling to be like somehow it's a victory that the Chiefs stay in the metro area, no thanks to him.

Yall lost the Chiefs and you're taking a victory lap. Third NFL team to leave the state. It should be humiliating for him and his cabinet. But he drove in KCK this weekend, so it's all good!

The racetrack, the American Royal, the Chiefs, the Royals, the lost tax income. Someone should tally up all the jobs and income loss over this full process just to put it all into perspective. Even if you're on the side of not paying for anything, he's a ****ing idiot for taking this stance. He's a mayor in Missouri, not a Mayor of some made up territory that crosses state lines.

He'll end up using this bullshit "regional" thing in a future campaign to make it look like he didn't take a fat L. He'll pack his bags and relocate anywhere he needs to if he can get a seat in DC. You can already hear the, "Back in KC we worked across all lines to make sure the whole region grew. Elect me and I'll make sure we do the same here in ....."
