We need separation of Sports and State.
A great web site on this topic:

Here are discussions of one boondoggle after another, one sport after another, one city after another.
This stuff is endless taxing average workers to subsidize rich owners.
It is totally disgusting.
“Our democracy”—nope—it is their kleptocracy (my new tagline).
“ 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.
Good one!
Can somebody tell me why we pay for these things but the sports teams get all of the money from them? And the concession venders make a killing too. Professional athletes and Leagues should not be making the kind of money that they make when we have to pay for these very expensive venues.
How true!
