The people arguing for infinity H1Bs on the basis that the US needs to win like a sports team are owning themselves.
San Diego pampered the Chargers for years. They then left us for that dump Los Angeles because we didn't accede to their outrageous demands.
Why?
Because they had no loyalty to SD because they were ultimately not San Diegan. Their players and executives came from across the country. They were there only to make a buck and play with a ball. They had zero connection with the people they supposedly represented, and so our ample generosity meant nothing to them.
Nonwhite immigrants are even worse. They will always wear their homeland's jersey under our jersey. All the high-minded rhetoric about a better life really means to make a buck.
The financial penalties imposed on the Chargers were almost as high as the cost of building a new stadium. They still left because money was all that mattered.
