“ We need separation of Sports and State.”
I remember a day when we ridiculed the Soviet Union for the government being deeply involved in every aspect of society and culture. We noted our superiority in that the government and politics was not involved in every single thing in life. Guess that’s over here.
Yep. Orwell said in 1984, just give them lots of football and beer and they will be a cinch to control.
“ And the worst part is enduring all the woke commercials.”
The commercials are the point of it.
As Lenin predicted, capitalists selling communists the rope.
“ It’s called Corporate Socialism.”
A new name for fascism…imagine that.
This kind of Fascism is more subtle than Mussolini’s. But the end result is the same.
He’s not going to leave anytime soon, Khan has put a lot money into the area surrounding the stadium and add a number of amenities to the current stadium, easily over 100 million dollars worth of improvements, he’s also going to develop the riverfront land near the stadium that has sat vacant for many years, the plans include a 4-Seasons Hotel.
To his credit, he’s put his money into the stadium and the surrounding area which is why I think the improvements will happen.
in 2022 the average attendance at NFL games was over 69,000. The NY Jets averaged 78,000.
Bread AND circuses. This s on the citizenry, or should I say serfdomry.
I’m sure the owners have enough money to build a new stadium or take out a loan from a bank
Rich people didn’t get rich by risking their own money.
They got rich by risking your money.
;-)
which is also the definition of fascism
but no matter what we may call it, it stinks insofar as the taxpayers are concerned
while I personally would not favor taxpayer money spent on a sports arena, I would at least consider it if the tickets were affordable for normal American citizens
as things are, it is a total and complete ripoff and should be terminated forthwith, imho
Check out the link in post 15.
There are close to one hundred reasons given to justify public funding/subsidizing of these stadiums.
Every single one of them is a lie.
This web site proves it blow by blow/stadium by stadium/all cities/all sports.
thank you
I agree
sports for the “One Percent” is not a worthy recipient of massive taxpayer subsidies
far from it.
The nation is bankrupt, we are being invaded and politicians think welfare for billionaires to have a place for their over paid meat to play is most important? What mindless crap!!
Sport is very rich so they should pay their own way
Will double as gladiatorial combat centers for killing Christians and conservatives under the Chelsea Clinton administrations in 2032.
“lame halftime shows...”
Demonic is probably a more accurate description
Bread & Circuses….. old as the Romans….
