Sure they have the money, but they still don't have the fame associated with winning AGT or getting the headline show in Vegas. I think it's less about Detroit being salty and more that they wanted to thank the choir for representing the city if the city of detroit was physically able to award dyc with a million dollars, then why does the dyc even need the money anyway? they didn't win. they aren't supposed to have a million dollars. they would have been much farther from being runner-up if detroit weren't voting exclusively for them. it's just... clownery. You're looking way too deep into this. Like Foxy said, it's a gift. The city of Detroit decided to give them the money, and it doesn't (and shouldn't) matter whether they "deserve" it or not. The people that are actually mad about this are taking AGT way too seriously. The show is not the be-all-end-all of life. Are you saying that DYC's not allowed to get any kind of consolation gift from anyone just because they only won second place? Also, I guarantee you no one would even care about this if we were talking about any other act. It's only a problem because people are upset about DYC placing as high as they did
