He has no business attending an already extremely crowded and busy venue and disrupting the experiences of spectators (who will have paid dearly to be there) as well as the game itself. Everything will slow to a crawl, or a complete stop, when his fat ass oozes into and out of the building. He will bring dozens of security thugs with him who will be itching to find an excuse to beat up brown people.
And before you bleat "TDS TDS TDS," let me add that I think it would be an equally bad idea for, say, Obama to attend the game. The Turd could stay home and watch the game live on closed-circuit in the comfort of his orifice while getting a handjob from Vance. He's only attending the game out of ego. He doesn't belong there.
Funding a new arena via a sales tax increase, or extension, or whatever you want to call it, is a terrible idea. A good rule of thumb is that a municipal tax should be paid by those who will benefit from it. EVERYBODY has to pay sales tax, but very few of them give a rat's ass whether the local NBA team gets a new stadium or not. In Seattle, they lost the Supersonics because the local voters didn't want to shoulder the additional expense. That's understandable. If that sentiment has changed, that's understandable as well. It should be decided, as I said, by those who are most affected.
If Obeyme attempted to attend a game he would be booed out of the stadium. President Trump will be cherred and warmly welcomed contrary go what Lewis says.
