The nfl also abuses this power to get away with shit nobody else can. Can you imagine if any other company refused to show their books the way sports owners do? Not even just publicly, they are allowed to hide their books in collective bargaining. That’s absurd. Owners can get away with anything because they feel zero impact when they do shitty things.
And it means they can hold cities hostage by threatening to leave or they can steal from the public by demanding public funds while making no effort to provide a quality product. That’s a horrible experience if the suggestion is a lifelong Washington fan simply find another team instead of the simpler solution which is to get rid of the owner that’s failing them. Bad owners who alienate fans should lose money. When they suffer from gross misconduct they should feel the hurt, not just a throwaway $10m fine. And the cities that “employ” him should have the leverage to do something about bad ownership. It should not be in the hands of other owners who don’t care if Washington is shit.
And that’s not even getting into the legality of all this. If the nfl is complicit in helping Washington break laws then an outside party should absolutely step in. The same way they did and should have for steroid use. Who would’ve stopped the blatant doping if not for congressional investigation? They are investigating enormous misconduct of a multibillion dollar business. Maybe Congress can be focused on something else but it’s not like they’re overreacting.

Seems like your in favor of the public taking private property anytime they do not like how the property is being used.
