I agree with you about the taxpayer issue but I’m not sure there’s a role for Congress in it. The taxpayer funding of stadium venues is really a state and local matter.
*The taxpayer funding of stadium venues is really a state and local matter.*
You’re right. Still, taxpayers in(non-playoff) Atlanta should have the right to watch KC play Miami free of charge. Something to do with anti-trust or some other legal term that protects the NFL from competition. It’s indirect tax breaks for the rich.
Then there’s the taxpayers in those 2 states that have to pay extra to watch. Even if it’s just the land or the eminent domain that allows market-rate compensation for the stadium property there’s still something not right here.
‘Something’s not right’. That’s even better than saying it’s wrong. Let the listener think they’re figuring it out on their own. We’re behind the democrats on these things.
