Why should tax payers have to foot the bill for an owners stadium?
NFL owners have been taking advantage of the general public for far too long. Teams are moving cities because the owners get butt hurt and don't want to pony up money for THEIR stadium when the public votes the stadium tax down. Im honestly glad St. Louis and Oakland voted their stadium tax proposition down. Im glad some of these citizens have the balls to stand up to such greedy owners and the NFL in general.
The NFL is becoming a joke and society is so twisted these days. How about instead of NFL owners expecting the public to pay for their multi billion dollar stadiums by tax, we offer up a tax that will help out schools or some sort of social service that will improve the cities social or developmental landscape?
Shit makes me sick.
I saw last night that the city of Oakland still owes $95 million for the last renovations they did to the Coliseum. Their payments are over $10 million each year... that is $10 million that does not go to hire extra teachers, police officers, firefighters, repair schools, etc. The idea that these guys can't afford to build their own stadiums is ridiculous.
