![]() ![]() I can’t imagine people would listen to me do that for very long but John Sherman has been doing it for over a year. Some people would probably have some questions, right? Like, why should they pay for me to get a new computer for writing when the one I have is perfectly good for that task and only suffers when I try to game on it, something which doesn’t actually benefit them? Or, how can I know that it would cost more to upgrade my existing PC when I can’t even tell them what parts or specs I want? Or what my computer has to do with all of the other people who write about the Royals on the internet? I promise it will make my writing better and ensure that internet writing about the Royals thrives well into the future!” Over and over and over again. In those tweets, I would say that my computer was a little outdated for gaming, but that it would cost even more to upgrade it than to just buy a new computer with all of the pieces I want (and I would, obviously, offer no proof of this.) And if anyone asks me what specs I want the new computer to have I tell them, “I’ll have that information for you later, but I need you to promise me your money now. Imagine I wrote tweets (or are they xeets now?) every couple of weeks saying I wanted my followers to help me pay for a new computer for writing on. He constantly has to be making press conferences and open letters begging everyone to remember that he wants their money. He cannot seem to just let things sit until there is something to say. A continuation of his process since the very first announcement (that also surprised no one) that he wanted to build a downtown stadium with surrounding real estate development opportunities for him and his co-owners to exploit. Time to release an open letter that shares absolutely no new information. Neither he nor his business team have managed to make any headway on the new stadium so no one is talking about that, either. His team is so bad that no one really wants to talk about their deadline prospects because their trade assets are significantly worse than a number of other teams. It’s been a couple weeks since his ill-fated press conference. So, John Sherman is fresh off having finally gotten the (alleged) bad-faith negotiations with his in-stadium union workers completed. Sherman said he will contribute "well in excess of $1B in private investment," which sounds great except in his first letter he said the total cost would be $2B, so that leaves close to $1B to be paid for by somebody who isn't owner of the Royals. ![]()
