So I’d suggest the Portland Whatever and the Salt Lake Yeah, Right. A little success, buy-in from a Trumplike mogul seeking world domination, and next thing you know … splat!

Gee, I’m getting cynical.

And because the old “Rubber Bowl” stadium would need to be renovated to accommodate them, I say put a lid on it and rename it “The Condome”. Just hoping their line will be able to stop the penetration !!!!!
