We cant blame Bob Young for everything but im sorry we can certainly blame him for mostly fielding a poor product. His win-loss record speaks for itself (it was at 28% before this year i believe). The very fact a business can put in 10% of the bill and get 100% of the say is quite remarkable..it could never happen in anything but sports its truly bizarre. The CFL has been barely alive in southern ontario the last 20 yrs or so and you would think they would be happy with a stadium funded 90% by the city and goverments (tax payers) no matter where it was. Nope they make a threat to leave Hamilton and never come back. They wanted us to accept a site that could have cost over 80 million more and just be happy about it and shut up. He is a very nice man but if he is worth as much as Hamilton's entire city budget for a year..well sorry i just dont get it.. Maybe the city shouldnt been fixated on the West Harbor but i will still challange anyone who thinks one location should cost 80 million more over another and we should remain silent about it. I got news for everyone no other city in the CFL would contemplate spending a extra 80 million for a stadium...nor would any other city in canada. You dont throw that kinda a money at something just for it to break even. You can build in the middle of lake ontario for all i care but it better not cost millions and millions of dollars more. People mentioned the bread company..could you imagine the uproar if we just handed them 80 million to make a plant here because they didnt like one site over another.
