I sent Mayor Cornett an email on Thursday, but I have not received a response.
Dear Mayor,
“There are too many problems to list. (...) There are so many that I don't want to gravitate to just one.”
Rather than asking you to "gravitate to just one [problem]", I request you simply name one in the first place. Since the issue is so questionable, as you suggested, I invite you to offer as many points of contention as you see fit. Please bear in mind, however, that your objection(s) must be capable of withstanding rational scrutiny.
As an elected official, you have a responsibility to elaborate upon your decisions. Please invest some effort into becoming the portrait of honesty you projected to the citizens during your election campaign. Articulate your reason(s) for denying a law-abiding organization from conducting operations in downtown Oklahoma City. Outline your justification for opposing a possible source of revenue for our community. Disclose the methodology you employed in arriving at your decision and account for the laundry list of "problems" you referenced.
Declaring something does not make it so! You asserted that the proposition had "too many problems", so make your case! Your sleight-of-hand will not suffice. Please identify these "problems" you referenced.
Respectfully,
Jake
So who do i need to send letters to to let them know i wanna see the LFL play in OKC!?
the council, that is steadily becoming the "clowncil".
Oklahoma City, the RENAISSANCE CITY!
You can reach our "big league mayor" here...... mayor@okc.gov
Damage control. Don't worry - this will never pass the council anyway.
For the first time ever.Now we will be viewed as uptight puritanical scolds.
Don't get your hopes up guys. It seems most cities are saying No the LFL. Last year they announced expansion cities of Orlando, Houston, Nashville, and San Jose. Only the Orlando team materialized.
We need to start coming up with a name for our team.
Any suggestions?
And much like with the Thunder should we go with "Oklahoma City ______" or should we include Tulsa and use "Oklahoma _______"?
Oklahoma City Ooh La La's
Here could be the team song.
Lingerie Football League says NO to Oklahoma City
The Lingerie Football League will not be expanding to Oklahoma City.
LFL chairman Mitchell Mortaza said in a statement Tuesday that the league had abandoned its plans for a team in the city following comments critical of the league from Oklahoma City mayor Mick Cornett.

Well that sucks. Thanks a lot Mick.
It wasn't going to happen anyhow. If the LFL expanded everywhere they said they were they would have 40 teams by now. Besides, if this league is so whiney that a single politician making a comment can stop them, how committed were they in the first place? Maybe they were just another fly-by night league looking for a handout.
I think there needs to be a huge stink over this. Family values has gone too far this time.
Not to insert my blog or anything (I didn't want to say this on the blog) but the poll I have has the people in favor of the LFL coming winning the vote with 69%. Not even kidding..
This whole thing is just silly. Mayor really stepped in it this time by 1) Acting imperiously; and 2) Not even bothering to explain his opposition to it. Then, he has the temerity to back track and claim he was misquoted.
I suspect Kerry is right and this would have never come to fruition anyway but the mayor needs a reality check.
I think there needs to be a huge stink over this. Lack of family values has gone too far this time.
See how that kind of logic works both ways. If you are going to make an arguement, it has to be better than that. Let me help you get started Spartan, what are the three top reasons why you want an LFL team in OKC. Be honest.
I was discussing this with some friends the other day. Of course, both those friends are single males who subscribe to Playboy and are long-time bachelors. They're OUTRAGED that the mayor would ban such wholesome, family-oriented entertainment. LOL Frankly, I'm with Mayor Mick on this. This league adds nothing to the environment of OKC that isn't already provided by our strip clubs.
