Well I understand MB did a hell of a job getting a nice deal for the Bengals.. but the economic impact of a sports team like the Bengals is pretty impressive.. The City has gained from keeping the Bengals.. sure we get pissed that we can;t control who and what benefits from our taxes.. but there are thousands of people that benefit every game weekend when the Bengals in town or when a concert is in town at PBS etc.

So when you talk about lining pockets, don;t forget the pockets of the small business owner that is also benefitting.
