[QUOTE="SpartaChris, post: 362444, member: 1007"] And so what if it is? I mean, they do own the team, don't they? If anyone should be entitled to earn more, it should be the folks who actually own the damn thing. I know a lot of you like to ***** and whine about the owners using tax payer dollars to finance stadiums, but the fact is it's a smart business move. If you're a business man, and you get an offer of a brand new, fully financed stadium from one city vs. having to come out of your own pocket to build a new one in your current city, which option would YOU choose? If you say you'd come out of pocket, you'd be lying. No smart business man would willingly part with their own money when they can use and profit from other people's money. You're also ignoring the fact that the teams have to pay back that tax money used to build that new stadium. It isn't just free money given to them. Besides, I'd much rather funnel tax money into something I actually enjoy and would use that would actually pay me back, like a brand new football stadium, than have it go to the waste and crap our tax dollars currently pay for. By the way, most cities considering tax money expenditures on football stadiums put the tax up for a vote in the form of a ballot measure. Simply vote no if you don't want to use your tax dollars to help finance or keep your team locally. [/QUOTE]
