Jon Oliver did a bit tonight about the use of public funds for stadiums

If you want to own a football team..whose industry generates billions annually...buy your own stadium. Its not society's responsibility to fund your place of business....just like it's not my responsibility to fund a new Home Depot.

The owner's know that the fanbase is ignorant...so they threaten to move teams to put pressure on the politicians to cave. This is a case of the rich exploiting the poor and misinformed. No politician wants to be labeled "the guy that ran the Chiefs out of Missouri"...It's a sweet racket. It's taxpayer cash for nothing..

Haha man are you in for quite the shocker when you figure out about special zone taxing, which is raised to fund that new Home Depot.
