So, I just saw Brodie Brazil's video on the forthcoming BEARS Act going down in Chicago and thought to myself 'What if Arizona had pulled someting like this around 2022?' Would it have made any difference in the Coyotes situation?

First, the team would have had to have had enough support in the legislature to actually get public funding. Meruelo owning the team precluded that. Dude had zero ability to build relationships with the people he needed to get a project like that done.
With an owner like Meruelo who shit talked everyone he did business with, treated them like shit, and couldn’t even be bothered to spend enough on the YES vote to outspend his non billionaire opposition? Yeah, I don’t see him having the good will that the Bears did. The community has to actually want us here to want to support us and a significant portion of that community were told to fuck off by Meruelo several times.
