I'll bet the next expansion round is Houston and Atlanta. Houston can use the Toyota Center for now but will have to build something new. Atlanta group has a plan for an arena north of Atlanta, in Forsyth County.

Not at all, you are missing a simple point entirely. Firstly, you just claim it's theft, the argument I described is that it's not. Information is simply not economically scarce. There is no finite element to the supply of information. Your assumption is that watching in a stream lowers the revenue of the producer of the content. That is only true if the person watching the stream would have other wise payed the full price to watch it. If I'm willing to pay one dollar for a bills game broadcast, and they charge 10, they don't lose 10 if I watch it for free (be it via a bootleg stream or by me staring through my neighbor's window) because I would not have chosen to pay them that price anyhow. Producer surplus does not exist without a paying customer. If a person is willing to watch a game for free, say as background noise, but otherwise would never bother, then the NFL (or broadcaster or whoever) loses nothing because of the stream. Intellectual property rights are different from all other property rights, and in fact they violate other property rights in their enforcement. I own my phone, I pay a telecom provider for their spectrum (which they lease from the government who on paper works for me as a taxpayer) and enforcing the NFL broadcast monopoly violated my personal rights to use my phone (which is economically scarce) how I want. Your examples about big business being greedy, or that retail loss is covered by insurance, are quite separate from my argument.

I wouldn’t trade any amount of money for them absolutely not winning in my lifetime. There’s no amount. They’re one of the most important things in my life, sad as that may seem, and knowing they had no chance would effectively take that from me.

This will probably be over in 5.

So…. How long do we stay in the toxic relationship with our boy Ben? At some point many relationships come to an end and I’m just not seeing what we’re getting in return from Israel that’s making us want to continue to be his ally. I’m not saying we go steady with Palestine. I’m saying we “America First” this situation and realize Netanyahu isn’t doing us any favors and get the ***** out altogether. He’s become the obnoxious drunken girlfriend who slaps the 6’6” 280lb guy at a bar and only does so because her boyfriend is bigger.
