You guys do understand that this is the first step how teams move away, right?
Ted doesn’t give two shits about dc, Maryland, or Virginia and he can find someone to give him money for what he wants.

Get fucked ted, you greedy midget.
thenatureboyWOOOOO
Not surprised that the state is pushing back. Rationalizing to SW Virginia (just as an example) that their taxes would be funding a billionaire’s playground in the DC area is a no-go.
Shocking the Gov Blumpkin is out of touch with a giant chunk of the state.

I won’t believe it’s over until I see some stupid email from Ted saying he’s saddened by the decision but ultimately excited to continue keeping the team in DC (as he obviously was hoping for this the entire time s/)

Glad to see it fail, but I’ll believe it when old Ted comes crawling back into my inbox with a “I never wanted to leave DC, so we’re staying” email.

Don’t come crawling to the state of Maryland for new arena money unless you’re going to in some way rename the teams after us.
Baltimore Bullets sounds nice. 🙂 As it was in the beginning!
I’ll also accept Mid-Atlantic Crab-itals. 😉 Inclusive of the entire region.

His teams have a place to play in DC, they can renovate that building. He doesn’t need another at the tax players expense.
If he wants a complex, then he can pay for it himself entirely

This is misleading. One bill was killed but a different but related bill is showing promise.
What this does say is VA is listening to their constituents and for my VA peeps it’s 100% worth reaching out about this.
Should i go give testimony when the time comes?

Doubt that it’s dead. Sounds like negotiating to me.

NOVA NIMBYS strike again. I’m an Alexandria resident that this personally effects, and I’ll be pissed if the deal falls through so we can preserve easy commutes for the pain in the ass rich dickheads who own $1M homes in Del Ray. Traffic is inevitable and holding off building things for cars is the stupidest shit I’ve ever heard.
I hope they build a casino/strip club/meth den on that land instead. Fucking stupidity.
