not a very encouraging headline for Ted Leontis and monumental sports.

This is from the SPN. Virginia senator says bill for new Wizards

capitals arena is dead. I heard on life support's what I heard but yeah same thing I think they

kick the can down the road though it's gonna take longer Lucas, a leading Democratic Virginia legislator on Monday, said proposed legislation

to help pave the way for the Wizards and capitals to relocate to Northern Virginia is dead as far as she's concerned.

She first said over the weekend on social media that legislation underpinning the deal was

quote not ready for prime time and would not receive a hearing in her committee.

I think that it's the age-old argument when it comes to teams moving.

Do the taxpayers want to give their money to a billionaire?

So some of course want the arena there and we learned there's a lot of people in

Alexander that don't want the arena there and then there's a fight over where do we put these millions and billions of dollars and funds do they go to the rich owner to subsidize him building stadium or do we keep it here for

roads and education and everything like that?

I did chuckle at drab yesterday basically tweeting at Ted Leontzus. Hey Ted, Ted, I'm paraphrasing. Ted, if you got to play hardball, I'm paraphrasing,

Ted's got to play hardball and threaten moving, not moving to like Alexandria or across the river, he's got to threaten moving to like Alexandria or across the river he's got to

threaten moving to like in like Kansas City right somewhere a hundred hundreds of

miles away for people to take it

problem is is people might not care.

You know, I mean, some people will obviously.

Yeah, sure, of course.

I just say, I mean, he's got that ace up his sleeve that he needs to dangle out there a little bit

to let people know that he also has leverage

that he's not he doesn't have to just do whatever people want him to do that he owns the team
