I want to tell you a story about a controversy that isn't really a controversy at all. It's a series of contrived events designed to suggest there's a genuine controversy. And although activists and media are playing along with the script, the community isn't buying it.
On Tuesday night, the new Little Caesars Arena opened in downtown Detroit. It's a beautiful facility - modern in every way, and setting the stage for the revitalization of more than 50 city blocks, many of which were pretty blighted over the course of recent decades. Developed by Olympia Entertainment, the arena will serve as the new home of both the Detroit Red Wings and the Detroit Pistons, as well as many concerts and other events that are expected to keep the arena busy more than 200 nights a year.
