Of course, the embittered old racist Paul Mirengoff actually labels the cause as the reaction to the murder of George Floyd (1,200 miles away, in Minneapolis). This is the reason the two pro sport franchises are decamping from DC — to about a stone’s throw away — in Alexandria, Virginia?! C’mon, man. Yeesh.
That is to say — to be sure, the same “but for” non-rational thought points directly to the murder by cop for which Derek Chavin was convicted (and recently stabbed 23 times, in an Arizona prison), and sentenced to 25 years.
See — had Derek Chauvin not kneeled on a prone, cuffed George Floyd’s windpipe for over nine minutes… there wouldn’t have been as strong a BLM protest movement.
And (in Paul’s telling)… DC would NOT be a hellscape, now. Of course, his premise is false.
DC is fine.
Virginia is simply offering vast tax incentives — to lure a pair of storied sports franchises, into a new arena complex: jobs and tourism are the main aims. [This is happening in Chicago as well, as a group in Nashville tries to entice Reinsdorff and his White Sox (but not Bulls!)… into Music City. This is common. It is just… business — and as to the Sox — I say good riddance. Yes, I’m a Cubbie (north-sider) fan. But I digress.]
The ultimate point? This is in no manner about George Floyd, you racist moron.
