Reply to comment by Ear_Enthusiast in MLB-required upgrades to The Diamond could cost city $3.5M by PercyDovetonsils

And yet no ball park or arena or football field anywhere in the country has ever made a profit nor have they paid for their own maintenance.

Fat Dragon consistently has a wait. The current Diamond was the best in minor leagues when built and yet over its lifespan it spawned no business in the area, not so much as a hotdog stand.

I’d like for those in Richmond that enjoy baseball to have a team to support, I’m not a monster, but this is extortion and it is offensive and tone deaf for a billion dollar organization to demand public money for something so frivolous.

An object travelling at a constant speed and direction may have no acceleration in its own reference frame, true. But it can absolutely accelerate another object in another reference frame.

I don’t know what “F=mv2/2” is but maybe you mean the equation for kinetic energy? KE = 1/2 mv^2

At any rate (ba-dum-tss), getting hit by cars sucks no matter how accurate the mass measurement is. The slower the better.
