After seeing a thread that was started as a memorial to a former player who had passed away being hijacked by a debate over the Walmart-Broncos union, I figured that we should have a special thread dedicated to those of us who don’t think this is as good of an idea as advertised.
I remembered when Dan Snyder bought the now Washington Commanders. He made his fortune in marketing, as if that actually qualified him to run a football team. We’ve also seen what kind of a “dynasty” he’s build.
Mr. Walmart had his fortune handed to him by his daddy. His son-in-law did found an investment group, which gives him a similar background to that of Snyder, except his primary qualification for his current job may have been marring Mr. Walmart’s daughter. Or was his success at the investment company his primary qualification for marring her? In either case, let me know when Mr. Walmart actually does something that distinguishes him from Snyder. Until then, I’m not nearly as optimistic about the future as other members of this board. You might even go as far as to say I’m becoming a little bit “Jaded”
