Of all the things I support this franchise for, the one I absolutely will not support is them failing to treat their employees with class.
The Benagls are hilariously cheap.
They extorted the city to get one of the most team-friendly stadium agreements ever - Probably the worst for a city of all time.
10 years after the deal, the stadium costs made up 16.4% of the county budget.
As of 2017:
The taxpayers in Hamilton County, Ohio already have coughed up $920 million for Paul Brown Stadium, which opened in 2000. With the county beginning to foot the bill for some of the team’s game-day operating expenses in 2017 (to the tune of $2.7 million per year and growing) along with other expenses will put the total cost to $1.1 billion through 2026, when the lease with the team expires.
They don't invest in FA. They don't invest in facilities.
They are an inferior organization, from top to bottom. The Results prove it.
