KC mayor Quinton Lucas, US Senators Roy Blunt, Pat Roberts and Jerry Moran, and US Rep Emanuel Cleaver co-signed a letter to the NBA commissioner's office and Raptors ownership making the case for Kansas City to be the temporary home, if needed.

Trudeau government already set the precedent by blocking the Jays in July.

Yeah but KC fans aren't interested. They proved in the 80s they'd put more fans in Kemper for indoor soccer and guys named Enzo. Never understood it. I guess they are still more into soccer for some reason. [Reply]

Raptors just need a place to play. Any fans they get at all would be a bonus. [Reply]

Sir, 2020 - 1980 = 40 years. The majority of ppl living in the KC area weren't alive back then. [Reply]

Still pissed about losing the Kings while INDOOR soccer thrived. Yes, indoor soccer over the freaking NBA. An utter embarrassment for KC. And I see soccer is still a big deal there apparently, although at least it's the outdoor crappy MLS version. [Reply]
