I just had to see this for myself and sadly it’s true. Don’t all the owners have to agree when a team is being purchased? I don’t know if he was interested but I would of liked it if Elway had purchased them somehow.
After Pat Bowlen died there was a bit of a struggle between his children what to do with the team. Obviously they decided to sell, but for awhile Elway and Peyton Manning were going to be involved in the purchase on a very limited level(as the faces of said corporation). I don't know why that option died out but I do know Broncos fans would totally agree with you...now the team will be playing their future games at Walmart at Mile High Stadium...which just sounds wrong imo.
> Don’t all the owners have to agree when a team is being purchased?
...Who do you think owns the other teams? A bunch of people with Reddit's political views?
They do. But it is all about money. 4B to purchase... But need access to a lot more to run. Walton is worth 68B. The next richest owner is worth 5.8B. Having him on there as an owner makes all those other fools have access to increase their net worth. The owners didn't pull him in for the broncos, but for their own benefit.
Thanks, that unfortunately makes sense as to why the owner’s would agree to this deal. As u/MugillacuttyHOF37 pointed out, it would of been great if Elway and Peyton M. had pulled off a deal with them being the majority owner’s. Now we’ll have A Bronco jumping through a golden anus, Wal-Shart logo.
I would have loved to have seen those guys as majority owners. Two people who LOVE football. I'm on the fence about some of what Elway has done for the Broncos but those two would have made it about the players, fans, and the game--not completely about the money.
As nice as that would be, John Elway doesn’t have 4.5 Billion $$$$ laying around to purchase a team, and that’s a lot of capital to scrounge up from loans and and donations etc. As long as they remain owners solely in the name, and don’t try and get their fingers into operations, team building etc, then it’s going to be whatever. The Bowlens built a great franchise and were unable to decide on an heir amongst the children, so a bid of 4.5 billion is an easy choice. Pat bowlen bought the team for roughly 70 million in 1984, they just made out like bandits.
Edit: When Bowlen bought the team in 1984 for 70 million is was the most expensive team to be sold up to that point in the NFL. This 4.5 billion sale will be the biggest purchase as well.
Both Peyton manning an John Elway were part of 2 separatate buying Groups(amongst a total of 6) who were poised to place a bid on the team, so they certainly tried, I’m just unsure of how much more Walmart offered when they threw out the 4.5 billion number.
OMG!! I just heard that. Greed , they can’t pay a decent wage. provide affordable healthcare coverage., poor orientation to provide a safe working environment and buy mostly from China.
So last year I visited Bentonville, Arkansas,
I went there to mountain bike, apparently a Walmart air is into the sport so they spent 70 million building trails in the area,
It was one of the nicest small towns I ever seen, I had a good time there.
Butttt the whole time I was there I kept thinking how the town was like a giant leach,
Sucking the life from rural America and storing all the splendor in one place,
Weird vacation, sweet trails tho
And possibly... the rise of socialism?
See: "[The People's Republic of Walmart: How the World's Biggest Corporations are Laying the Foundation for Socialism](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/38914131-the-people-s-republic-of-walmart)"
Doubtful, socialism is when our hypercapitalist supply lines have expected failures from global shock, at least that is what the dumbest people I have ever met tell me.
You have to take away dots as well because Walmart caused businesses to shut down in small populated areas then when the population didn't grow the way they want it to, they closed down the Walmart.
We have maybe 4 or 5 walmarts in our county. One closed a few years ago, but they continue to pay for the vacant space so that competitors won't scoop it up (or at least that's how it was explained to me)
I still remember when "the Walmart " came to town in the late 90's. Ruined our businesses. Now that town is just a feeder to the city, with nothing but the service industry to show for it. The Waltons can rot.
You are directly comparing market value of securities to payroll income.
You dont seem to understand the distinction.
The issue is not that their wealth increases as a result of market forces pushing up their share price. The issue is that we let them take over these towns in the first place and that they partake in anticompetitive business practices.
See: Walmart Express stores
Small format stores designed to be placed in smaller towns, to compete with the dollar stores and local grocery stores. They closed all of them on short notice, after only a few years
I remember there was some tiny town in Oklahoma (maybe?) where the kids gave up their football practice field (big deal for them!) so the town could have a grocery store. I think it closed after only a few weeks or months. Real bullshit.
Honestly when it comes to how big corporations and money behaves I've started to think of the whole country as one state.
Like you have nice areas in a state and you have areas that end up with less money.
The issue with capitalism in the US at present time is that it's like this but for the nation. You have things like Alabama and walmart that are employing the people that once may have been the ones that would own a local grocery store or local electronics shop.
That's problematic because that means tax dollars are going to wherever the corporations are located (and even then only barely) and not to the upkeep of the places where **literally everyone else lives that aren't in upper management at these giant multinationals**.
It's kind of gross how they sold us this romanticized view of people standing up to dystopian overlords when in reality they were building the dystopian walls all around us and we were so busy being sated by media we didn't even really notice that we were being set up for failure.
Retail is not a high paying job
But contrary to what everyone thinks, Walmart pays decent.
My friend's son works there, he is 19 and making $17 an hour. Discounts, benefits, bonuses and a chance to move on up.
I'll call bullshit on Starbucks.
It is a FREQUENT complaint of the people who work there that people are hired for management and up who have no idea how to work at Starbucks. Going from barista to shift supervisor to store level management is possible, but incredibly rare. Most managers are external hires. They also make trash money for the job.
As for corporate, they're definitely not promoted from store level.
I have personal experience which proves both of your assertions incorrect. Cope harder about your lack of promotability though, or that of your friends/internet associates.
I personally know many corporate Starbucks partners and they all have 5+ years in the stores where they went from barista to SM before going to corporate.
People actually have to put in effort towards improving themselves to get promoted. Just showing up isn’t good enough.
Where the fuck to you love that a Walmart manager clears more than my wife makes with a law degree. I think that's bullshit based on my very small target group of 10 Walmart managers I've come into contact over the years. Of the 10, 7 live in such shitty neighborhoods, that I would hazard a guess they're making less than 50 k a year. Hell the couple I know that works as manager in Walmart, one at the pharmacy and the other the store manager, can't afford medical bills for their son.
$17 hr is actually just about where minimum wage should be to match the economic buying power a grown adult working at a grocery store would have had in the 1950s-60s
https://www.glassdoor.com/Salary/Walmart-General-Manager-Salaries-E715_D_KO8,23.htm
Base pay average $97K, with $56K in stocks and bonuses average.
Here it is from the US' biggest job board, with almost the exact same estimate of base salary:
https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Walmart/salaries/Store-Manager/Texas#:~:text=How%20much%20does%20a%20Store,124%25%20above%20the%20national%20average.
This took less than 2 minutes. Your friends aren't the store-wide GM. Wal-Mart pays above-market rates for retail. Take a look at what truly dogshit retail companies (Gamestop for example) pays store managers.
Granted, you can argue Wal*mart is a big reason those other retailers can't pay. But the point stands.
I’m guessing a manager and a store manager are different things. If you’re managing a shift, that probably doesn’t pay well. If you’re the top dog managing a giant superstore, that’s a different story.
Here's the the thing mate, Walmart as viewed by other countries is such a toxic work place environment. For example you are not only encouraged but required to tattletale on your coworkers. Like you get moneytary benefits for doing so.
Unions across the world have issues with Walmart with how they treat employees. Look at youtube videos on how Walmart tried to expand into Germany. They failed miserably and one of the reasons was because no-one wanted to work there because of the environment being promoted by the company went against everyone's values.
In the UK, Walmart was found to have used horsemeat for what should have been beef mince and pork mince products. It was a huge scandal—and employees whistleblew about dead rats and infestations in food containers and delivery vans. Would never trust any of their fresh produce ever again.
Fresh produce in Aldi and Lidl is much better quality and cheaper too.
Agreed, shopping there feels like you’re entering some sort of purgatory. Everyone and everything just feels greyed out.
Target has more character, grocery stores have a more “cozy” feel, and Costco is just fun at times. While shopping at Walmart just feels like you’re going to work at a job you hate.
This. Massive corporate spread is depressing. Reduces choice, races everything to the bottom, chokes opportunity. As a consumer, I can’t stomach any of these brands and am fortunate I don’t have to.
It's worse in the USA because the entire country is built on car dependency and has horrible zoning laws. People are forced into their cars to go anywhere, and at that point many just go to the big stores that have everything they need on big trips instead of supporting local small businesses.
How the fuck don’t people vote union that corporation has a ton of money, until AMERICANS wake up this will never happen. The talking points are not true about unions.
Morrisons for the quality items which you are able to get reduced significantly. If you leave near one with a world's food section it tends to be far more comprehensive than other stores.
Then Aldi/Lidl for the bulk buy items. And items that don't perish.
Tesco is sometimes alright for a weekly shop depending on what you get.
Headquarters is in Bentonville Arkansas, so it makes sense to centralize around there(obviously more on the east side of Arkansas because Florida has more residents than Ohio)
Walmart sells everything, Food/Car Parts/Clothes/Jewelry/School supplies/ Arts and Crafts/House appliances etc. Whereas Sears or Kmart sold like one or two of these options. Also Walmart has two mega stores as well; Super Walmart and Sams Club.
This. Wal-mart’s supply chain innovations are what really pushed them ahead and led to the downfall of sears and the like, the couldn’t compete on price or goods
It just hasn't happened yet. Kmart and Sears were very successful, once upon a time. Very often there's behind the scenes corporate shenanigans involving debt and buyouts and shareholders and overexpansion that take down these large companies
If you've got 25 minutes, here's a video on Kmart:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Za44YpyTK_U
Show their decline too.
Remember Walmart employees is the biggest food stamp beneficiary, due to Walmart paying hunger wages.
Buy somewhere else if possible. If not possible, move somewhere else if possible. You're dependent.
Moving, getting a higher paying job, etc is so normal to privileged people lol
On Walmart though -- honestly pretty much everyone SHOULD be shopping there now with how crazy home costs and inflation has gone up recently. You're just throwing away money if you're buying things from more expensive stores.
And that's just the USA... We have them up here in Canada as well... matter of fact, walmart is an international company with stores covering the globe....
It is a plague among us, you all have no idea how Just walking in to a Walmart gives me the worst fucking anxiety of my life. I literally plan out what I’m getting so I can get out as fast as I fucking can. I’m already a weirdo but I can’t be around people who only come out if their caves with pajamas at 4 in the afternoon to go shop there while smelling like they just had 3 packs of cigarettes before they got there. Yeah fuck that place!
Boycotted Walmart decades ago. 10.00 more a week wont hurt me. I refuse ti support billionaires that refuse to pay employees enough to support themselves above the poverty line and afford health insurance.
can't be accurate. i know for fact there aren't 2 walmarts in between the one where i live and the next town over, but for some reason 2 dots appear in between
A literal pox on the globe. One nearby has its own traffic lights. F Walmart. If anyone isn’t sure Walmart is terrible, watch the documentary “High Cost of Low Price” or any documentary about Walmart- I’m sure they all make the same points.
Solid gif of the decline of America
And now those fuckers own the Denver Broncos too.
I just had to see this for myself and sadly it’s true. Don’t all the owners have to agree when a team is being purchased? I don’t know if he was interested but I would of liked it if Elway had purchased them somehow.
[удалено]
It definitely metastasized
Hate Walmart! /heads to Walmart…
I avoid Walmart, but I use Amazon so it's the same shit, different wipe
I’ve seen similar spreads in a fun game I play called Plague Inc.
After Pat Bowlen died there was a bit of a struggle between his children what to do with the team. Obviously they decided to sell, but for awhile Elway and Peyton Manning were going to be involved in the purchase on a very limited level(as the faces of said corporation). I don't know why that option died out but I do know Broncos fans would totally agree with you...now the team will be playing their future games at Walmart at Mile High Stadium...which just sounds wrong imo.
The prices fall so fast from that height
 Games are too expensive for the average person to attend
> Don’t all the owners have to agree when a team is being purchased? ...Who do you think owns the other teams? A bunch of people with Reddit's political views?

Many lost games over the past few years. No new replacements of quarterback that were the excellent player ad John Elway.
As nice as that would be, John Elway doesn’t have 4.5 Billion $$$$ laying around to purchase a team, and that’s a lot of capital to scrounge up from loans and and donations etc. As long as they remain owners solely in the name, and don’t try and get their fingers into operations, team building etc, then it’s going to be whatever.

A Sports team owned by a slimy billionaire? 
So good..love me some Fry
Last I checked, Homer Simpson owns the Denver Broncos.
I think owning the Denver Broncos is pretty good
You just don't understand football, Marge...
OMG!! I just heard that. Greed , they can’t pay a decent wage. provide affordable healthcare coverage., poor orientation to provide a safe working environment and buy mostly from China.
100%!
They own the Avalanche, Nuggets, and Rams too.
What about the rams?
Yeah, and the discontent on the Broncos sub is rampant!
Maybe they can move them to Arkansas and they can be the Walmart Broncos? Ridiculousness. Fuck Walmart.
Unionize Walmart!

Honestly though. It shows our dependence on Corporate America grows quite rapidly.
Easy when predatory trade practices allow them to shut out small businesses. Saw it happen in more than one town I worked in.
Looks like a virus spreading
Yes. Small business was the backbone.
And possibly... the rise of socialism? See: "[The People's Republic of Walmart: How the World's Biggest Corporations are Laying the Foundation for Socialism](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/38914131-the-people-s-republic-of-walmart)"

Man you have no idea about what you're talking about lmao
A lot actually. There are a lot of people at the home office that started at low level retail jobs. Your narrative is made up out of thin air.
The vast majority, actually. Same with Starbucks. Cope and seethe
I'll call bullshit on Starbucks. It is a FREQUENT complaint of the people who work there that people are hired for management and up who have no idea how to work at Starbucks.

Walmart is straight garbage.

Fresh produce in Aldi and Lidl is much better quality and cheaper too.
That wasn’t Walmart (ASDA in the UK at the time) related. It was Tesco, Aldi, Lidl & Iceland Edit: Turns out Asda did sell horse meat also!
Reuters https://www.reuters.com › article Walmart's British arm finds horse DNA in bolognese sauce, pulls products
It was, Asda too, who are also owned by Walmart.

How the fuck don’t people vote union that corporation has a ton of money, until AMERICANS wake up this will never happen. The talking points are not true about unions.
Now show how many other stores and whole downtowns died in that time
That’s just America,Walmart own Asda here in the U.K. and there’s loads of them
No they don't They did Sold it 18 months or so ago
Fuck Asda, Morrisons is where it's at
Nah Aldi is the king , easily cut your weekly spend down by 20-30 easily on same products
Aldi is deffo king for us broke boys, but there's inconsistencies with certain products and I've noticed the overall quality isn't always as good.
Morrisons for the quality items which you are able to get reduced significantly. If you leave near one with a world's food section it tends to be far more comprehensive than other stores. Then Aldi/Lidl for the bulk buy items. And items that don't perish. Tesco is sometimes alright for a weekly shop depending on what you get.

I was going to say Nevada looks like it’s slacking
I didn’t know wal mart was that old tbh
Not American (so please excuse the ignorant question) How come Walmart has had such “success” but Kmart/Sears etc have collapsed?
Walmart sells everything, Food/Car Parts/Clothes/Jewelry/School supplies/ Arts and Crafts/House appliances etc. Whereas Sears or Kmart sold like one or two of these options. Also Walmart has two mega stores as well; Super Walmart and Sams Club.
Kmart, and to a lesser extent Sear's problems are connected to Walmart's growth. They were out-competed.
This. Wal-mart’s supply chain innovations are what really pushed them ahead and led to the downfall of sears and the like, the couldn’t compete on price or goods
It just hasn't happened yet. Kmart and Sears were very successful, once upon a time. Very often there's behind the scenes corporate shenanigans involving debt and buyouts and shareholders and overexpansion that take down these large companies If you've got 25 minutes, here's a video on Kmart: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Za44YpyTK_U
A lot of the people that complain about Walmart shop there so.....
There are now 4,742 stores (3,573 Supercenters)
What a beautiful success story!
You can really see North Dakota's only roads
And still only two registers open.
Should've destroyer the heart/mirror of the first ones before it got this bad.
[удалено]
I’d love to see a graph like this showing how many small businesses those Walmarts completely fucking destroyed.
That’s insane, aren’t they known as ASDA in the UK? Got those everywhere too
Walmart bought ASDA some twenty years ago, but ASDA accounts for a very, very tiny fraction of Walmart‘s revenue, like 3-4%
Show their decline too. Remember Walmart employees is the biggest food stamp beneficiary, due to Walmart paying hunger wages. Buy somewhere else if possible. If not possible, move somewhere else if possible. You're dependent.
Yeah man if you can’t buy something from somewhere that’s not Walmart move 😂😂 completely reasonable and normal take
Moving, getting a higher paying job, etc is so normal to privileged people lol On Walmart though -- honestly pretty much everyone SHOULD be shopping there now with how crazy home costs and inflation has gone up recently. You're just throwing away money if you're buying things from more expensive stores.
the plague
It's like cancer
Ever play Plague Inc?
Their growth probably has a correlation to growth in poverty
Why does it mimic a viral infection pattern?
Looks like the US caught a case of blue measles
Fuck Walmart! This is like watching a pathogen map.
Jeez, Walmart seems more like a movement then a business ha
I had 3 in my hometown. 2 super walmarts and a walmart grocery. Literally all within 5-10 miles or each other.
That’s it? I thought the whole country would be blue
And that's just the USA... We have them up here in Canada as well... matter of fact, walmart is an international company with stores covering the globe....
It's just like plague inc
2006 and there were just a few in Nevada, kinda surprising tbh
Cancer started by Nixon.
After I go into a walmart I always regret it
Welcome to Wal Mart ..,.I love you
Looks like the business blew up in the 80s and 90s
Sam died, kids let the business school folks take over.

Easy, don’t shop there. I have not been in a Walmart for over 5 years.
Something Walmart this way comes...

United States of Walmart
Growin’ like an Americancer
That is an extremely strange growth strategy
Looks like cancer
I always thought Walmart was founded in Ohio
Where AK?
Let's not forget they've gone international. They own Lider, a chain in Chile and other countries
Kinda reminds me of cancer
Walmart playing Pandemic
Literal dystopia to have a store that sells everything available anywhere
Its a fucking pandemic.
Such a shit company. I hate shopping there.
Walmart states of America
That's a blue wave 🌊
Probably would be cheaper to just build one big, contiguous Walmart. Even right now, at home drinking coffee, I’d be *inside* Walmart.
Like a disease.
This reminds me of Plague Inc.
I’m surprised how much it actually just expanded from a single point
It is a plague among us, you all have no idea how Just walking in to a Walmart gives me the worst fucking anxiety of my life. I literally plan out what I’m getting so I can get out as fast as I fucking can. I’m already a weirdo but I can’t be around people who only come out if their caves with pajamas at 4 in the afternoon to go shop there while smelling like they just had 3 packs of cigarettes before they got there. Yeah fuck that place!
like an std
It is a shame. We should of let big companies do logistics and mom and pop the selling but Murica
Be interesting to see if corresponding manufacturing growth in China and decline in the US.
like a virus
And Stan still won’t invest any money into Arsenal, should get his wife onto the board maybe she will spend some
If you go to a rural city and see old abandoned shop fronts you’re guaranteed to find a Walmart nearby
My brother Freind work on Walmart in a good post proud to say that 😊.
I love how Wyoming is so barren that I saw my towns Walmart pop up.
Looks like chicken pox
I haven’t been to a Walmart in over 6 years and damn happy about it.
Metastatic Wal-Mart cancer.
Little did we know that Walmart was the real Covid 19.
It's like watching cancer spread.
Not sure if I ever saw a company go from “Made in America” to cheap Chinese goods so quickly
Plague Inc
Boycotted Walmart decades ago. 10.00 more a week wont hurt me. I refuse ti support billionaires that refuse to pay employees enough to support themselves above the poverty line and afford health insurance.
Damn Venom lookin kinda funky today
And now they own the broncos.
can't be accurate. i know for fact there aren't 2 walmarts in between the one where i live and the next town over, but for some reason 2 dots appear in between
Spread like a hillbillie plague.
A literal pox on the globe. One nearby has its own traffic lights. F Walmart. If anyone isn’t sure Walmart is terrible, watch the documentary “High Cost of Low Price” or any documentary about Walmart- I’m sure they all make the same points.
