Mate, thank you so much for letting me know I was mad and upset at Terry.

I didn't think I was, but I guess I was mistaken?

 

 

🙄

I don't believe I ever said you were, though I can see how you saw it that way. I was more refencing the idea of what's going on in the topic.

I disagree.  It's a terrible look.  I support the stadium monies--as a community, we had to do it.  But this looks awful, and tone deaf. 

Explain why it’s tone deaf?

 

Are the following tone deaf? Should the CORPORATION not have gotten public funds as many NFL teams have in the past because of these?

 

His multiple homes?

His multiple sports teams?

His bank account?

 

The Bills got 850 million public money for the stadium. The stadium and team that provide an economic impact to the area, along with a many unmeasurables.

 

Pegs is 850 million out of pocket, and climbing for over runs.  Maybe the Bills are paying that, but that comes out of his pockets.

I personally don’t like at all.

 

But then again there is that saying Hate the game not the players

That's really what we're talking about here.  Taste, or poor taste, depending on one's perspective.  That's it.  Have the yacht, don't have the yacht, whatever.  I think it's in poor taste to take $850m in taxpayer subsidy to fund a business and to then turn around and buy a $100m yacht.  Others feel differently, and they're entitled to that opinion for many valid reasons.  That about sums the whole thing up.  

All of this is well said.  I'm not mad at the guy.  I appreciate that he invested the money here and kept the team here.  But I'm mindful of the fact that it's an immensely profitable business, and I personally would not have taken gobs of taxpayer money and then bought a yacht.  It's not how I work.  The question is taste, and look, and it's not for me.  And some others.  But there are more who don't really care about the optics or who don't see it the same way.  Whatevs. 

The Pegulas didn’t turn around and order a yacht after securing state $.  Per the article, the yacht was custom made and then delivered in 2021…..well before the new stadium.  This article was written in a way to try and raise anger against the Pegula family.

Sure, fine, but negotiations were ongoing.

Again, that’s irrelevant. He was/is operating his business as almost all owners do. He negotiated a partnership with the state for a new stadium. They’re sharing the costs (with Pegula picking up the majority at this point). That expense being shared is VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY common in 2025. He’s done what the overwhelming majority of owners have done. It makes sense for all parties. We don’t get a say in that. 

 

He is also a very wealthy man. He has a net worth of $7B. What should he do with that? What is an acceptable amount of that $7B for him to spend on things that he wants? Where’s the line? How many homes can he have before it’s offensive? What’s the size of those homes? What about cars? How many is he allowed? What’s the nicest car that he can purchase before “it’s a bad look?” The same goes for the yacht. What’s acceptable? What is he allowed to do with HIS money that isn’t offensive or “a bad look?”

Pegula got public money for the stadium, because that's what every other franchise does. I think the whole thing is ridiculous. The same as I think the 100s of millions that go into cosmetic renovations for schools is ridiculous. but it's what everybody does. And most people aren't looking to get less than their peers.

Buffalo should be publicly owned like Green Bay... But that's not allowed.

 

That's the only thing that's acceptable.  Screw these pukes...
