The State’s overall rate of infection for gonorrhea was 175 per 100,000 population. In Sumter County, where 80% of the population is from The Villages, the infection rate is 39. That contrasts with Leon County, home to the capitol and Florida State U., where the rate is 370. Similarly for rates of chlamydia, the overall rate for Florida is 525.5 while Leon County’s is 1147 and Sumter’s 157.

He was joking. He meant that he’d fit right in with a community with a high STD rate. He would of course want the biggest home here and come with a sizable entourage.

I hope he does not sit in front of me at the Old Mill Playhouse.

We will know when Shaq is moving here when he orders his golf cart.

Can you imagine facing Shaq in pickleball?

funny you should say that. I remember speaking with him outside that movie house in lsl while he was campaigning for a sheriff. I dont remember who but he was friendly to us all. He was eyeballing the johnny rockets.

I know John Travolta comes to the Villages ' movie theaters on occasion but did not know about Shaq.

His "Joke" is no different than a statement- in that it perpetuates a lie and keeps us having to tell people it isn't true.

If he does come here. I would be curious what he would do for exercise. Obviously, he could lift weights at one of the gyms or his own house. I doubt that he would play basketball with the players here either because his knees are shot or because he would out class them. He could play softball here. If he played 1st base, it would make throws from the rest of the infield a lot easier. They could be less accurate and he could catch a lot of wild throws. He would probably hit a lot of balls over the fence. Maybe he would sign up with the soccer club and be a goalie. I'd like to see him in our Senior Olympics games. He could be a disc jockey here. He could play golf here (of course anybody can play golf). Tennis maybe, depending on his knees. He could start a talk show - we could use one of those. He would have a lot of possibilities - much like most Villagers have.

Excellent
 
Thanks for posting. So tired of that false trope. I only hear it from non-villagers.

How does Shaq living here increase my property value? That's what I want to know.

Unless you live in million dollar homes plus it don’t IMO.
