Fixed it.

Police escorts? That’s nothing new. A lot of NFL players have had police escorts.

Correct! Tax dollars for a stadium for a league that makes billions of dollars just like PA built stadiums and let the owners off the hook. Amazing that the lowbrows who go to the games and pays out the ass to watch the millionaires play.

It took a veiled threat to move the team to Los Angeles My theory is that not having a team in Los Angeles is the most profitable thing the NFL has done. Would any city be threatened into building a billionish dollar stadium when the team hints that it will move to Portland, Oregon? (Portland is the next largest metro area without a nearby NFL team after LA.)

An attorney with the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority said that state law protects the privacy of the city’s agreement with the league.

Since 1997, the league’s teams have received more than $5 billion in taxpayer money for building and renovating stadiums and an antitrust exemption allows the NFL to operate as a monopoly. Its nonprofit status saves the league millions in taxes.
The league brings in roughly $7 billion a year from national television deals. Vikings owner Zygi Wilf is worth an estimated $1.3 billion.
