And one sportswriter dumps all over the team, the league and 'process' by which The Braves found a new stadium and site:
Amazing news out of Cobb County! The new Braves ballpark is a political shitstorm and a mockery of the democratic process. That's not the news. The news is just how transparent of a sham this all is. From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
At a packed public meeting, county commissioners approved a series of seven legal agreements with the team, and several community agencies that will be involved in building, operating and paying for a new $622 million ballpark in the Cumberland Mall area. The meeting was over within two hours, and the commissioners approved the deals without questions or debate.
Deadspin has been talking about what a mass transit nightmare this is going to be, because apparently Cobb County has the same attitude toward m.t. as your typical Milwaukee suburb.
