There was a study back in '08 that actually showed Wrestling fans are one of the least conservative sports fanbases. The problem is they're also the least politically engaged and least likely to vote.

And if it's Amtrak and not CTrail or metro-north, it's a pretty large amount of money

Saudi's have been all about buying up stuff like this, so TBH I wouldn't be surprised if it's true.
BobbyRobertson t1_j3w77pp wrote
Yeah, a lot of it was down to demographics. There are a lot of black and hispanic wrestling fans, and those demographics tend to lean Democratic.
Wrestling fans were also (kinda unsurprisingly) found to be less wealthy, and political engagement is highly linked to wealth in general

Take that back and that’s the bottom line!
Because someone is fiscally conservative their a pos?!?!?
I’m liberal but people like you are dangerous and not good for America. You’re going to have to learn to love and how to function with other Americans that have political positions you don’t agree with. If you don’t like that, move to Russia or something.

Connecticut is not a shit hole. Move out when I was young. Moved to Michigan, Colorado and now Texas, and I can say Connecticut is by far better than Michigan or Colorado, and all 3 are a thousand times better than Texas. You want to see a shit hole, move south....

That damn WWE building. It sticks out like a sore thumb, its overhead sign is so blatant you can't not catch it, and the idea that the headquarters for an entire nationwide famous company is there of all places just does not sit well with me.
werdnak84 t1_j3wptu3 wrote
Also ... why Connecticut??? Is that a heavily Democratic area!?

Yes there are. Have you ever been to any of the state parks?
And I say this as someone who also left CT. But I think of it fondly!
phunky_1 t1_j3x8ond wrote
They own a huge stake of ticketmaster/live nation as well.
They would probably kill their own citizens for enjoying it, but are happy to make profits off of Americans buying paying for overpriced concert tickets and overpriced refreshments at the events.
Enginerdad t1_j3xg5hy wrote
It's unlikely that the building would change from a new person buying the WWE though

Back in the '80s a lot of those guys lived in town, you'd always see the wrestlers at hotels or restaurants or at the beach.

I think WWE had some shows in SA a few years ago. I think the monarchy is cool with letting male Saudi Arabians attend wrestling matches just like they are cool with them attending football matches.
But you know. Women.

No, I think we need more people who were fed up enough to leave CT around to offset the people who won't admit it's problems.
usernamedunbeentaken t1_j3xyz3f wrote
Because they are morons. A quarter of them still think wrestling is real and half of them thought it was real until they reached their 20s.
usernamedunbeentaken t1_j3xz6w8 wrote
That's the new WWE building that used to be UBS or RBS or something before the financial crisis.
The old one was near exit 9 and was there for decades.
MaoWasaLoser t1_j3xzwn1 wrote
Why? All they do is say inaccurate shit like "CT is a shithole" when by any sane standard, it absolutely isn't.
Does the state have issues? Yeah of course. Everywhere does. It's still one of the best places in the country to live.
Stoly23 t1_j3y3nvt wrote
Real OGs know that as the UBS building. Also at one point in time it boasted the world’s largest trading floor.
usernamedunbeentaken t1_j3y4e36 wrote
You have an opinion, they have an opinion.
Taxes are very high here, cost of living is very high, the weather isn't terrible but it isn't great. The beaches are the worst in the country. We have no mountains to speak of. We have among the worst fiscal positions of any state in the country (or did until covid helped us).
One of the most common bragging points of CT is how close it is to NY and Boston. But it isn't NY or Boston and doesn't have the stuff that those places do.
There are good points as well. Lots of hiking, people are pretty reasonable (neither our left wing nuts nor our right wing nuts are as nutty as those in other places). Not too crowded, not too empty. Taxes actually could be worse. Crime, outside of a few crummy cities, is quite low.
But all in all, if I could go back in time before I became entrenched here work and family wise, I wish I had gone somewhere else.

The magic left for me when they had to change the sign. I still can’t believe the two WWFs weren’t considered different enough to not cause brand confusion… although the irony of the WWF panda wrestling the trademark out of Vince’s stubby hands is top tier schadenfreud.
