When the NFL had their first big walk out and because of their UNION years back I stopped watching pro football. Besides, like pro basketball it is full of dumb thugs. If there was no more football tomorrow I would not notice.
It seems silly that as a taxpayer I have had to pay for stadiums to be built. In many ways the owners of NFL franchises are like Solyndra. They can’t run their businesses without what are effectively outright grants but the free money continues forever which makes some of them worse than Solyndra.
Rationally you are correct. However, bread and circuses has now become the rule. “The Games” keeps the mob largely quiet. That is not to say that there will not be occasional riots like those that occur after South American soccer games.
I agree that taxpayers should not be paying for stadiums for millionaires and billionaires to play. lol. In Dallas the taxpayers have now built a city-owned hotel. geesh.
