We need to keep the Chiefs and Royals

I am concerned that when the sales tax to support the KC Sports Authority comes up on the ballot, probably in the spring, it may not pass. I know that people are focusing on the fact that it seems they are going to pay to support billionaire owners and millionaire players, and that may be true, but I for one strongly feel that Kansas City is a better community for having the Chiefs and Royals. Yeah, Jackson County negotiated a bad lease, no way around admitting that one, but we have to live with that. Lets not make another mistake by letting them go elsewhere. Why not update the sports complex to make it a destination for the area and something that other cities envy. Lets also not forget that many new NFL stadiums have been awarded a superbowl, can you imagine what kind of economic impact having a Superbowl could do for KC? Or even if we had a new or remodeled Royals stadium and were lucky enough to host an all star game?

Be smart, vote for the tax and to keep the Royals and Chiefs.

My tax dollars could go to other more noble causeses then a busines venture like the Chiefs or Royals. Neither of them are a non-profit organization, so there shouldn't even be any consideration for taxes.
