Your anecdote is not enough evidence that this is in any way a good idea. How many dealers can they possibly have? Are they really getting paid the same rate they were 25 years ago?


actually, they're getting paid more. I understand that casinos are not good for a community. I accept that. The main reason I dont gamble is because I've seen what it does to people. I only wanted to point out that it can be beneficial for some people that aren't venture capitalists.

Thats great however!

Many families lost their incomes, couldn't afford food or schooling, destroyed the family unit and resorted to crime - Many more families and individuals are victims of casinos, then any 'good news stories' and thats why casino empires exist via their predatory nature of marketing to the socioeconomic vulnerable members of our society.

If anything your dad was complicit with what casinos cause ... I don't see too many 'rich people' running around telling everyone how they won at the casinos!

Soccer hit its apex in the US with the Cosmos-Pele, Chinaglia, Beckenbauer. That was thirty years ago!

You think I listen to Mike Francesa because I asked you to back up your claim?

In other words, you can't back up what you said. When you can, let me know. Thanks.

I get that your circle doesn?t pay attention but let me lay down some information for you?

Soccer isn?t one monolithic entity. It is the name of a sport. If you say to someone ?I like auto racing,? it is entirely possible that the person you are talking to also likes auto racing. When it comes to specifics, you might hate watching Formula 1 while that person hates watching NASCAR.

Soccer is more complex than that. I have friends that watch SPFL and EPL and MLS. I have other friends that watch La Liga and some MLS. I have friends that hate MLS and only watch SPFL. I have other friends that watch Ligue 1 and other friends that only watch La Liga. Then, there are people I play with that only watch Serie A or the Eredivisie or the Bundesliga. I haven?t even covered Liga MX, which draws better ratings in the west coast than NFL games. There are international games and tournaments like EuroCup, Copa America, Gold Cup, etc.

The argument that the sport isn?t popular is false. You can state that MLS isn?t very popular. I may be a fan, but I won?t argue. You can argue that Ligue 1 isn?t popular and I won?t argue. But the sport which has followers of many leagues absolutely is popular.

Put it this way, the guy walking down the street in a Barcelona shirt can probably have a conversation with a guy wearing a Real Madrid shirt about the current state of Athletic Bilboa. However, the guy walking down the street in a Manchester United top will have no idea how good Muniain is. However, ManU person can possibly tell you who is starting up top for Stoke while the Barcelona and Real Madrid people can?t.

The other reality is that the amount of money spent on TV rights for all of these leagues is astronomical. Just look at the amount of channels involved:
ESPN, NBC Sports, Fox Sports 1, Fox Soccer Plus, Gol TV, BeIN Sports, BeIN Espanol, Univision, Telemundo.

How many channels show the NBA??
ESPN, TNT, NBA TV??

How many channels show MLB??
ESPN, TNT, TBS, MLB Network??

There is a ?national conscience? that exists regarding what we pay attention to and what is advertised. The national meme is to continue repeating "soccer isn't popular." However, how many channels do you know exist because there is a demand for MLB, NBA, NHL, or NFL?? I have four channels that came into existence solely to broadcast soccer games.

I won?t ever argue that someone uninterested needs to follow the sport. That is just silly. However, to say that the sport isn?t popular and that nobody is paying attention is simply false. Next time you go to a mall, take a look around and see how many people are wearing soccer jerseys, football jerseys, baseball jerseys, basketball jerseys, etc. You?ll be surprised how the numbers stack up.

I would absolutely love it for the US to get a place or 2 in the UEFA Champions League. That would be the next quantum leap for the sport in this country - with the additional money, tv rights, top Euro clubs playing here competitively every year, and real competition between US clubs for those places. Perhaps Mr Klinsmann can pull a few strings ? North Atlantic Champions League anyone?

Well, USA isn?t in UEFA so they won?t be able to compete in Champions League, but we have our own tournament. This has existed for quite some time now. It?s called CONCACAF Champions League. RBNY, winning the Supporter?s Shield, will compete in it. Mexican teams have won the tournament every year.

There is the FIFA Club World Cup each year, but nobody pays much attention to it.

I have friends that like NASCAR. I even have a good friend that works for NASCAR. You can?t blame Obama for the fact that the TV ratings for NASCAR have been plummeting faster than a brick dropped in the ocean.

I get that you want to blame the woes of a fixed sport on Democrats. It?s your go-to. But, there is nothing about TV ratings reducing that says it is because Obama hasn?t fixed all of the screw-ups begun with prior presidents.

I find this funny based on the pure stupidity of it. Essentially, because *you* can?t name anyone other than retired soccer players, the sport is a failure. Heck, I can name one NASCAR driver and it?s because the guy?s dad died in a race. I?m also not arrogant enough to believe that NASCAR is a failure because of my lack of knowledge on the sport.

In fairness, the London Eye is pretty damn impressive and quite a nice trip. Something like that placed in Jersey City would actually be a good idea?

?You?ve got to think big,? said Mayor Steven Fulop of Jersey City, adding that he had been discussing the project with Mr. Fireman for eight months. ?The opportunity to have a world-class facility on the waterfront is significant from a job-creation standpoint, for tax relief and for tourism. Paul Fireman is capable of executing something like this.?


----And there goes Fulop's voting base.

What city bonds? I thought the $5 billion was private capital - with the city and state on the hook for tax incentives. You understand how project financing works?


I understood perfectly when McGreevey and Corzine said Xanadu would get zero public financing. I understood better when Christie came along and changed that.

Trump Plaza casino owners fear closure

July 14, 2014, 1:06 pm Wayne Parry AP


Atlantic City's crumbling casino market has disintegrated even further as the owners of the Trump Plaza casino in Atlantic City say they expect to shut down in mid-September.

Trump Entertainment Resorts told The Associated Press that no final decision has been made yet on the Boardwalk casino. But the company says it expects the casino to close its doors September 16.

Notices warning employees of the expected closing will go out to the casinos 1,000-plus employees.

If Trump Plaza closes, Atlantic City could lose a third of its casinos and a quarter of its casino workforce in less than nine months. The Atlantic Club closed in January, the Showboat is closing next month and Revel might do likewise if a buyer can't be found in bankruptcy court.

Trump Entertainment Resorts told the AP that its managers and board of directors "have been reviewing alternatives for the property. Although this review has not been completed and no final decision has been made, the company expects that it will terminate the operations of Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino on or shortly after September 16, 2014."

A source with direct knowledge of the situation who was not authorised to speak to the media told The Associated Press that the company has hired a search firm to solicit buyers for Trump Plaza, an effort that remains ongoing. So far, no buyer has emerged.

The news is the latest in a cascade of setbacks for Atlantic City's gambling market, which until just a few years ago was the second-largest in the nation after Nevada; Pennsylvania has now taken over that spot. Analysts have long said that the casino market here, and in the Northeastern United States, has been oversaturated, and that some casinos need to close to ensure the survival of others.

On January 1, Atlantic City had 12 casinos. By the end of September, it could have eight.

The Atlantic Club closure cost 1,600 workers their jobs. An additional 2,100 at Showboat will be unemployed as of August 31, in addition to the 1,009 Trump Plaza workers on the payroll. Revel has 3,100 workers who could lose their jobs if the two-year-old casino resort is not sold.

I don't want it either, but this a motorsports racetrack. (I think someone said formula 1). In which case the capacity is not that unusual. This is not another football stadium, that is competing to host the same events.

Does anyone seriously think this racetrack/casino/95 story building will ever really happen? It's a total fabrication so they can build yet another soul-killing condo tower and say "see? This isn't so bad".


Don't forget 100,000 person stadium and the world's largest Ferris wheel.


The 100,000-person stadium, the racetrack, the 95-story tower with a casino, hotel, and condos are all a ploy so that the world's largest Ferris wheel can be built in JC. ;)
