This will never be a politics blog, I promise you that. Some sports websites like to weave in their political opinions whilst talking about sports. I’m done with the ‘stick to sports’ narrative, but I am also not someone who will go out of their way to say ‘I’m not sticking to sports.’ Imagine how narcissistic of a person you have to fucking be to put that in your Twitter bio. One of the bigger stories in the City of Milwaukee today and this week is the 2020 Democratic National Convention will be in the Cream City next summer. No matter your beliefs, this is a great thing for the city.

Those three days will bring in a ton of money to the city. TONS. No matter how you feel about the party or if you’re in favor of the current President, more money in the city is a good thing. Would you turn down something like that? No. Things will be crazy for those three days, the days before it and the days after it. A part of me wonders if Summerfest bumps up a week earlier or will we see the mother of all summers in the City of Milwaukee. I suggest going on vacation or going all-in with it. No real in-between.

Some might want to say ‘Fiserv Forum and the Bucks support Democrats, not Republicans.’ We need a little lesson on how national conventions work for each parties. Usually, the parties look for cities and states where they need to drum up support. After the Democrats had such a poor showing in the Midwest, it’s a no-brainer to visit a place like Milwaukee. Yes, the Lasry family is deep in with the Democrats, but there are many like them such as the Brewers owner. Save your outrage for some place else.

Happy that Milwaukee continues to rise and I don’t look forward to shitty jokes like the one Tom Perez made about vegan brats.
