Because owners in all Major Sports tend to like brand new shiny arenas. I agree with you that there's no need for a new arena at this point in time.

Exactly. How many dreams along the way did he stomp on with his anti-competition practices? Bill Gates has done some good things with the billions he's made but there is a trail of shattered dreams of other people in his wake.

So you think it's fair and right to tax people that first off might not even be Jazz fans let alone basketball fans to build a billionaire's arena? No ****ing way. Let the billionaire build his own arena and let the poor and middle class keep their hard earned money to pay for things that...

I really hope you're not suggesting the Utah taxpayers subsidize a new stadium/arena. It's immoral to even consider it. The man is a billionaire and while I know that new stadiums/arenas are not cheap by any means, these deals never ever even come close to paying back taxpayers long-term...

It was a tale of two halves. While I think BYU played for the most part played pretty good defensively the 1st half they seemed gassed early in the second half. Some of that 1st half success also might be partially due to Utah coming out a little flat too. The difference in depth was apparent...

Agreed. It's time to tank. This team was not good enough to contend for anything but the 8th spot and a 1st round sweep before Gobert was injured. We need to commit to a rebuild right now and that starts by making sure we net ourselves a top 10 pick at least as well as trading players that we...

I'll never see kneeling for the anthem as patriotic. Or burning a flag for that matter which they haven't done of course. I will not disagree about the protest being peaceful. I will disagree that it has helped get positive change. It's made us talk about it. But it has also separated us...

That's different as pointed out. The ability to kneel at that time wasn't there. I don't even recall many broadcasts even showing the National Anthem but maybe they did. It's been a long time so you must excuse my memory on that.

When was this? I was unaware. If this is true and I knew it then I would've stopped watching sooner. This is all about racial injustice to them. Any demonstration or protest involving the flag immediately feels like disrespect to that flag and those that fought for it IMO. You may disagree...

You might have a point in that they are allowed to do as they wish and aren't required to stand. There's a policy versus rules debate in there according to an NFL spokesman. It still doesn't change my position in terms of my viewership going forward any different. If they want to kneel, so be...

Pages A62-63 of the league rulebook: “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be...

Did you actually read this thread or skip to the end? This has nothing to do with scoring political points for me. I stopped watching the moment Kaepernick started kneeling and the league along with the 49ers didn't punish him. He had every right to do it. The team and League had every right...

Let me preface this by saying I didn't vote for Trump. I did stop watching the NFL even the Superbowl. He had every right to do it, but I had every right to stop watching due to my disgust for his actions. So let's not pretend that everyone just blindly followed the President's lead here and...

Around 60 Tomahawk missiles were just launched into Syria targeting an air base and some chemical weapons storage facilities. How are you going to spin this to make it look bad on Trump and Republicans? We are all eagerly awaiting your typical partisan responses. On a personal note, you...

Your issue is not with the word itself but with the negative stigma attached to it by politicians regarding Social Security and Medicare. You'll see my point when you read the first definition.
