I am SO SICK of taxpayers subsidizing stadiums "for the good of the community". In Cuyahoga County, we pay an 8% sales tax because of the supposed dire financial needs in the country.

So what do the county councilpersons do? They vote by a small majority to give a few million to a new super scoreboard for the Browns. Yup, they used the ol' trick of everyone who could get away with it voting for it.

It's all such a scam for taxpayers to subsidize millionaires. Why not just sell shares of stock to build and maintain stadiums?

It's all such a scam for taxpayers to subsidize millionaires.
And it's not just the owners who are millionaires. Almost every player in the league is a multi-millionaire or close to it.
Why they don't get tapped to fork over a few bucks to support the GAME they play, is a crime too.
