Football was for the common man, and corporations played a small roll in advertisement etc, but now it is all about money it appears. 2 Billion dollars, going to entertainment in just 1 stadium there is something fundamentally wrong with this mindset, when there are people, living on the streets with kids going hungry and education at the level it is... and tax payers will be paying for a new stadium.. Something is not adding up. Big business always try to make more and more money, and I am afraid the NFL has become Money Hungry myself.
It is insanity. At some point, a stand needs to be taken. Why are we, the citizens, expected to build stadiums for billionaires so that they can then sell us tickets to come watch their product in the stadium that we built? You have school programs being cut, but "we" need to help out a bunch of guys who are in the top 1/10 of 1%? Any of these guys has the ability to build their own stadiums, and they should do so.
