How Sweep It Is... Good Guys Win!
Can we be honest? Minnesota will have a men's basketball team for only a few more years likely, before the new owners take the team to Seattle. (Hopefully, they leave the Lynx. Two teams, split package. Like kayaks, not a canoe...)
Target Center, where the Lynx and Timberwolves perform, is right downtown in Minneapolis as is Target Field, where the Twins put on their show...
Downtown Minneapolis has been a shut-down ghostish town for well over a year now, with few signs of life. Crime rates and killings are up downtown, and those safe in the suburbs find it exciting in a dangerous kind of way to visit, after hours. But relatively few do.
Workers like working from home, and if they can get away with it, they will. Collaboration has left the building when digitalization and technology take precedence over substance. (It's a beautiful product we've produced, who cares if no one watches or reads. We.did.it!)
Point is, with sports teams located in the heart of the city (the Vikings perform in their new stadium on the outskirts of downtown Minneapolis; the Wild perform in more staid St. Paul), there should be an emphasis right now on pushing out the best product possible, to rebuild the fans and ensure that even if the city suffers in the coming years, people are still willing to turn out for games in the summer.
Twins suck. Performance is divorced from payoffs. Josh Donaldson is a dick. And waaay overpaid for what he's put out here thus far. Entitled almost.
After the Wolves go, how long before the Twins are packaged up and sold off too? Those things don't happen here, eh?
