PromoTheRobot Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Here's the thing.... SD is a REGION, NOT a city... The actual "City" of san Diego is a TINY entity when compared to the region... When this so-called "vote" took place, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF FANS WERE LEFT OUT! Towns like Spring Valley, El Cajon, Santee, Lemon Grove, Lakeside, Rancho San Diego, Poway, Oceanside, Carlsbad, Alpine, Chula Vista... I'm sure I've left out a few! These are HUGE communities of homeowners that consider themselves " San Diegans" -it's the "meat" of the fan-base, and the people THAT DID NOT GET A VOTE! Wow! -I'm a lifelong Bills fan who HATES the Chargers, and to me this is really sad! So why doesn't San Diego county hold a vote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaSnow Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 i am probably older than you and feel exactly the way you do.. getting sick of the greed of the NFL.. Completely agree. If it wasn't for the Bills, I wouldn't watch, and for the first time I can remember, I have no urge to watch the playoffs. My fandom for football is really moving more toward how I feel about the NHL and MLB--where I'm much more of a casual fan who just watches my teams when they're on.

Mr. WEO Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 So why doesn't San Diego county hold a vote? They did. You missed this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#34fan Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) Where does it work like that?? Would all of those other cities vote on other tax hiking proposals that San Diego is proposing in the future? I'm not telling you how it works WEO, I'm telling you how it IS.... All these communities are NEXT DOOR to each other.... Sewn together like some weird Tapestry of un-incorporated San Diegans... I didn't even mention Tijuana, MEX... Where a buttload of fans cross the border every Sunday to attend games.... Span-man turned his back on some SOLID revenue down there.... Maybe he's thinks he'll have it better... I do not see how. So why doesn't San Diego county hold a vote? Good question... I'll have to look into it. Edited January 14, 2017 by #34fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Diego county rejected the proposal. If the City of Buffalo or Erie County wanted to raise taxes for a new stadium, voters in Rochester and Ontario Canada wouldn't get to vote. You understand why, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHO rejected the proposal? -Was it the actual residents, or was it the board of supervisors? B: Aaaaand you still don't get it.... Rochester Bills fans DON'T consider themselves Buffalonians.. -Not even a little bit... Resident's of San Marcos CA, consider themselves San Diegans.... Residents of Escondido CA, Consider themeselves San Diegans... Residen'ts of El Cajon... -You see where I'm going with this.... It takes me roughly 9 minutes to drive from La Mesa, where my company has a facility, to the nearest point of "incorporated" SD... It's a different city. -BUT IT'S THE SAME TOWN... I'm based in Southern OC... There's tons of Charger fans among my neighbors... Drive down to Oceanside, and there's Charger stuff EVERYWHERE... The team is a part of the region's identity... As such, I think the vote should have been more regional. Edited January 14, 2017 by #34fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez, after telling you twice, I would think you would have looked it up y now!! https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/10/sports/football/san-diego-rejects-chargers-stadium.html http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/chargers-could-be-moving-after-san-diego-voters-reject-stadium-funding/ Annnnnd...yes, it's clear where you are going. You think voters who are not registered voters in the county of San Diego should get to vote on a tax hike in that county....because they are Chargers fans (but non-fans would not also get to vote I assume).

You could ONLY vote within INCORPORATED areas of the CITY! -Go to your NY times link and click the "soundly rejected" link in the article! scroll down to the fifth tweet......

QCity Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 L.A. has a history of not supporting teams in losing seasons. This is going to be a trainwreck.

26CornerBlitz Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 San Diego moving companies to Bolts: We won't help The Chargers' move up the coast prompted a loud and passionate outcry from local fans who have supported the team for decades.

4merper4mer Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Sigh amazing how ignorant people are on the subject. First he already owned the land! Second he wanted ONE thing and got hem to blink. Amazing how people twist it.. then again there is a bill fan calling him a drunk and a gold digger.. even though he MADE all the money. I apologize....to drunks....for calling Bob Kraft a drunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
