What is it when taxpayers pay $300,000,000 to build these public stadiums and then the team owners get to collect the naming rights (for $300,000,000)?
The taxpayers are the ones working out here with NO return. At least the players collect a salary.

Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson - a multimillionaire - took $90+ million dollars in taxpayer money from Albany, supposedly for stadium repairs.When completed, he had the gall to name the "renewed" stadium ... Ralph Wilson Stadium.
I don't care if he is 90 y/o - I'd still like to knock his block off.
