Yep; these rich owners talk local governments into subsidizing (or building) their stadiums for them. Whose fault is that? Oh and the the way Karen, there’s a game tonight. The Thursday night games usually suck, but I’ll crack open a beer and enjoy a quarter or two.

I guess some people are just born to be customers. :-P

While you are watching, consider how many millions of dollars Amazon paid the NFL to get that Thursday night game on their network.

This is why the owners are willing to pay Goodell a $100 million. It's all about the Benjamin's.

IF the voters/tax payers in Erie County(Buffalo) or Nashville want to pay for a 2 billion dollar stadium, that is their business.

Jerry Jones invested $1 billion in the construction of AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The city kicked in with the roads and utility lines, etc.

The city then opened many new restaurants, various stores and hotels. The city has made tons of $$ from taxes and increased businesses; much more than originally invested. Keep in mind that the stadium is used for much more than just Cowboys games.
