Exactly how I see him. Bill Mahr, Stewart, Limbaugh, et al can go **** themselves with their slanted views but Oliver works both sides of the street...

Huh? What? If anybody "works both sides of the street" out of those, it's Bill Maher, not Oliver

Funny how he mentions nobody saying "hey let's go hang out around the stadium" yet we have a dipshit group here that says exactly that.

I greatly enjoy Bill Mahar's program on HBO. His interview segment is often very, very good and his special guests are often very entertaining. He doesn't hide behind his massively left leanings and he's had some very good people on his panels over the years that lean far right.

The highlights to me are the comedians (Martin Short, Judd Apatow and others) and guys like Bill Nye and especially Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

I realize that some people view it as a "political" program but I just view it as entertainment.

If you watched his interview with Snowden you'd know that he is absolutely on top of things.

I have to admit I don't watch the show. My opinion is formed from interviews I've seen. I have an instant turn off reaction to any personality I view as politically or religiously extreme be they left or right. Obviously you are more keenly attuned, appreciate the input.

So taxpayers pay for profit driven stadiums yet receive no return on the investment other than "jobs"..Its been proven that these buildings dont provide that much boost to the economy. If there were no football team...those people would spend the $200 somewhere else...and likely not in such a consolidated manner.

They can argue construction...but there is a crumbling infrastructure that the money could be used for...thus producing "jobs". That allocation of funds benefits the society as a whole...not just NFL fans and their handful of billionaire owners.

His point was few people patronize the businesses around stadiums. That's pretty accurate when it comes to suburban venues like Camarohead, probably less so for stadiums like Wrigley. In the aggregate, there are way more of the former than the latter.

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..

So sweet of a racket, I wouldn't be surprised if the NFL keeps L.A. vacant just for the extortion benefits. Otherwise, after all these years, you'd think that somebody would have moved there. As a standing threat, look at all the influence L.A. has had through the years.

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.

Cities compete to have a major sports team play there. It increases the quality of life in that city and can spur other kinds of revenue and development. If a city decides it's not worth the money to maintain modern facilities, they can let their teams walk. There will never be any shortage of cities that want major professional sports.
