Turns out there is a lot more behind this one. Ugh.

Code Snitching: Nashvillians Are Weaponizing Metro Codes Against ‘Undesirable’ Neighbors

 

That stopped my biological clock. No, other things stopped my biological clock. It just made me a ragey little plebe.

Yep, that's so Nashville. See: Plebe, Ragey Little

 

Awesome!

 

This is the legal system at its worst. Sickening.

 

Sadly, this is part of why Nashville has garnered a reputation as an up-and-coming place to live.
If they keep this up, they’ll run all minorities out of town and steal someone else’s MLB team.

 

The White Sox sound like the leaders in the clubhouse.

 

You misspelled “Tampa Bay Rays.”

 

Any MLB team in present-day Nashville will be a poverty franchise from the word go.

 

Your MLB team in Nashville will be a plaything for residents of Williamson, Sumner, and Wilson Counties. Many of the players, athletic support staff and upper management will also call those counties home while the bills will be met courtesy of the taxpayers in Metro-Davidson County.

 

@dixiehack Not meaning to bust your chops about this. Friends in Nashville are paying big tax hikes for fewer services. Decreasing ROI on education is usually followed by the refrain of "It'd be nice, we just can't afford it." If people can cough up for PSLs they can afford to do more than the random giant check and new playgrounds in team colors where it's dangerous for kids to play out.

Time to get out some pork rinds and my copy of Silverado.

 

Baseball more than any other Big 4 American sport relies on population density. And while a Nashville is getting bigger, it ain’t that big. Only Milwaukee would be a smaller metro area in MLB. You’d see some reshuffling of the TV territories, but adjoining metros are not going to have a lot of regional loyalty. Memphis will still be a Cardinals town. East Tennessee and northern Alabama aren’t seceding from Braves country.

 

Put a damn team in Montreal already and call it a day.
