Bring MLB To Raleigh

But the end game here, potentially, is that taxpayers will be asked to spend hundreds of millions on dollars on a stadium, and I do think that having that debate is productive. Should it get that far, that would be a very consequential decision…I want to have a serious, ideas based debate over whether this is worth massive taxpayer funding. (If Dundon wants to entirely privately finance an MLB stadium in Raleigh, I will literally go grab a shovel and start f’ing digging the hole where he wants it.) But to quote Ian Malcom, your PR people were so preoccupied with whether or not they could do it, they didn’t stop to think if they should do it.

You’re not buying what they’re selling because you personally wish they had said the opposite of what they said. … There’s no reason to think that here, other than that you personally wish it were so, and that’s not a good reason.
