[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's all remember that George W Bush was a major beneficiary of this, as an owner of the Texas Rangers.

OP, I could not agree more with you. It's an embarrassing commentary on 2012 America, when major league sports are so important to so many, and qualify as such a high level of entertainment. "Our team," "We played so well..."  As though a win or loss will affect Average Joe's life in any meaningful way.

(And with that said, how 'bout those Nationals!)[/quote]

The Nationals? Bah. Wait until you see the bill for the new Redskins Stadium that the government is going to build for Dan Snyder on the RFK site.  [b]Let's start with a guess of $2 billion for the structure and associated infrastructure upgrades.[/b] [/quote]

Yes, but it will bring so many economic benefits - think of the beer vendors and souvenir stand workers that will be there eight days/year.  Snyder is laughing his ass off knowing nobody will ever care enough to raise a serious protest.[/quote]
