How else would they generate revenue without protecting their players? Career ending injuries hurt the NFL as well.


They're going to make billions regardless and they've got a fresh batch of bodies coming in every single year lol. It's about image/money, they don't really give a shit about the pawns in their game, why would they? It is a business after all.

I'm still confused why people ever thought it was a good idea to build a city/ live in a desert.

You ever think "Man I'd love to get away from everybody for a while" so you find a secluded spot to be alone? And then some other mother fuckers show up? That's how Vegas started.

I imagine that's how it started. That and the fact that it's literally empty space and it doesn't take much work to start building.

My mom lives out there about ten minutes from the strip and I visited her in January. It's disgusting how packed together everyone is and how many people actually live out there now.

It's a fantastic idea to move a team out there when it comes to making money. Probably be sold out every single game from people just looking for something to do.

Built the Hoover Dam and those dudes needed whores and gambling and now we're where we are. I for one had resisted any efforts towards creating an actual identity for this town as it is just a transient cesspool lol.
