Broncos Sold

[eddiememphis]

And they are already saying they will need a new stadium to be competitive.

Yay! More taxes!

[JohnnyDrama]

Thanks for the update. I have mixed feelings. I used to be a Broncos fan. I used to be a football fan. Even though I haven't followed either in many years, it will be strange to not have the Broncos in Denver.

[Doc45]

Yeah it?s just grand when a stupid rich owner who can easily afford to build a stadium on their own threatens to move a team unless the city builds a new stadium-Paul Allen anyone??

Now if only the Rockies could get a decent owner [ROFL2]

[Sawin]

They’re not leaving Denver lol… just a new owner

[Eric P]

Zero reason for tax payer funded stadium.

Add a fee to each ticket and have those that attend events fund the stadium.

No one but a few benefit from stealing money from the pleebs and giving it to the US oligarchs.

[Ah Pook]

Move. Bye.

I voted against he the last stadium and would happily vote against the next.

LoL. Shows how much I follow NFL. This will save the airport the expense of having to move the sculpture.

Well hell , the guy got rich selling cheap Chinese crap now he''ll get richer on federal subsidies.. Screw 'em all

[battlemidget]

Russel should work the phrases 'blue light special' and 'cleanup aisle XX' into his signaling.

As I look over my field of fucks to give I find none.

The current contract for naming rights is $3 million per year.

If you could come up with the loot, what would you call it?

I can think of a few fun things but I doubt profanity would be allowed.

Maybe, "Pelosi Is A Dried UP Old Bag" Stadium. Or, "Football Is Stupid" Stadium? That would be fun to hear the announcers say every Sunday.

I'd probably just name it Popcorn Field, tear down that stupid horse and erect a statue of my dog.

yeah, it's crazy there's a horse there, you know, since the team is something other than a horse. oh wait...

[00tec]

Does Elway have a reservation to be a greeter and reciept checker at the gate?

[Zundfolge]

I voted against he the last stadium and would happily vote against the next.

And with 100% mail in voting your vote will really mean something.

"Look at Me!! I get paid to play a game! Go sportsball! Stadium"

The city of Denver will do whatever the Broncos ask. It will get Hancock and Polis in the news and probably the national news and that is what those 2 turds love. I absolutely despise the NFL,NBA, and Baseball. Heck, don't even know what the baseball league is called. I would celebrate if they took the Broncos to another state and left Denver high and dry with no team. Hancock could turn Empower Field into a homeless compound at that point!! Win win. But that won't happen. The city of Denver will "fee" the shit out of people to pay for a new stadium or renovations to the existing one.

FIFY. This state loves to "fee" the entire state for Denver-based stuff already, so why would this be any different.

I agree with Eric P, if they just have to have a new stadium, add a charge to pay for it to those who'd make use of it's presence and not every taxpayer in the state. They didn't add a tax, er "fee", to pay for building/bringing to the state Scheels, Bass Pro Shops, Cabela's or gun ranges to CO which are the places I take advantage of and bring in a lot of tax dollars too, so why should the citizens pay for a stadium that is privately owned?

The original .1% tax was on the six county metro area, not statewide. One of the few taxes ever repealed, it met it's $100m goal in 2012. It only lasted 22 years.

However... a lot has changed since 1990. With the current makeup of the legislature it could very well be statewide this time and likely never come off the books with the funds being used for other improvement projects or used "for the children".

[FoxtArt]

I don't know what all you guys are whining about. It's not every day that we can see the democratic government subsidize the impoverished Walton family with a taxpayer funded WalMart stadium. Imagine all the people that will benefit from the winks and the nudges.

[Bailey Guns]

F the NFL... The entire league could go under and all the players could wind up living under bridges for all I care.

[BREATHER]

Someone said ad a fee to the ticket. I agree, I do not go to games, I do not need to be taxed, let the people that attend pay whatever needs to be paid.

Go Broncos!... https://www.denverbroncos.com/news/mile-high-morning-how-the-broncos-are-helping-reduce-gun-violence

Even in the offseason, the Broncos continue to show their dedication to making a positive change in the community.

On Tuesday,?the team co-hosted a press conference with local leaders from the Denver and Aurora municipalities?to discuss their new joint gun buyback initiative to help prevent gun violence in partnership with?RAWtools, a group that will take those weapons, deconstruct them and make them into garden and hand tools.

"The process we use adds the ability to turn disabled firearms into garden tools but more importantly allows people in communities impacted by gun violence to be a part of that process," RAWtools executive director Mike Martin said. "? You may see parents who have lost a child disabling an AR-15. Many of our partners who make this work are connected to community gardens and these tools at these events that we make will be used to till their soil. This is not a simple buyback. This is postvention and prevention. It is a mass effort to collaborate as neighbors to take that which harms our communities and transform it into something that will bring life to our communities."

According to Denver Police Division Chief Ron Thomas, more than 85 percent of Denver homicides were from gun violence in 2021, and police recovered more than 2,000 guns in that time.

In addition to helping prevent violence, the program can help prevent accidental deaths and suicides.

"It is for these reasons Denver is supportive of these types of events to help eliminate the possibility of guns being used in crimes or shootings," Thomas said. "Additionally, community members can help make the community safer by locking up guns or storing them properly. We also caution folks about introducing guns into a situation. They can have tragic, fatal, deadly and life-changing implications."

The program will offer $50 to $250, depending on the gun, each of which must be unloaded, and ammo will not be accepted,?FOX 31 Denver's Deborah Takahara reported Tuesday.

"Each buyback will be a drive-thru model, where participants must remain in their vehicle,"?the Broncos' press release read. "Firearms are to be brought in the trunk or back seat of a vehicle and removed by a RAWtools representative to be disabled. Participants need to be sure to check that their firearm is unloaded prior to arriving at a buyback event. Ammunition will not be accepted. Unneeded gun cases and locks, however, will be accepted. Any donated gun locks will be redistributed to the community at a later time."

I have a messed up lower. Wonder if they'll give enough for me to order a new one

[Sawin]

I mean, an AR15 should fetch the top price tag they’re offering, right? So yeah, that broken lower is exactly what they want to get… even if they have no idea what it is when you take it in….

They'd probably try to cage me for having an illegal ghost gun

Guess what? More Bronco news!

Longtime american football fans and well known sports and business managers, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and race car driver Lewis Hamilton are now owners of the Denver Broncos.

[kidicarus13]

"We would love to see a diverse owner of the team", Goodell said, according to KUSA-TV's Mike Klis. "Whether that's a person of color, or a female, or a Black man, we think that would be a really positive step for us. And something we've encouraged."

I don't think you understand.

Lewis Hamilton has dark colored skin.

And we have a bingo! As if there weren’t enough reasons to dislike that whiny little turd.

[Scanker19]

Condi is my hall pass.

[colorider]

I know who Rice is, but have zero clue who the guy is. And still don?t care. Let?s see how black owners feel during the trades. Literally, auctioning off and bidding on their workers. Like another activity that wasn?t so popular in the past. But this is sportsball and big $$$$$$$. So it?s ok.

If they are going to build a new stadium, it should have a larger field surface to accommodate a larger and better Supercross track layout!
