Taxpayers making thousands subsidizing millionaires.

Such a deal.

If they would agree not to use that bizarre cinnamon flavored spaghetti sauce chili anymore, it would be a fantastic deal.

When the Browns demonstrate they can win a Super Bowl, then what the Hell. Until then, no freaking way.

American professional football has become the biggest con job in world history.

Millionaire owners pay millions in salaries to players. The teams get paid millions from TV networks. They overcharge for their tickets. They demand little old ladies, living on Social Security in modest homes in the community, pay higher property taxes to pay to build expensive football stadiums while the poor receive NOTHING from this con job.

Steal from the poor and give to the rich. That’s American pro football.

I’m too lazy to look for it now, but awhile back I read an article about this sort of thing. The author said that a sports stadium does not bring any new money into a city. It just shuffles around money that’s already there.

Bottom line: Build your own damn stadium, sports teams. Do not say taxpayers should fund it because it’s a huge plus for the region. Because it’s not.

If only we could have governments fund manufacturing facilities to make, oh say, cellphones and pharmaceuticals in this country instead of amusement parks, maybe we could get a middle class back. Of course, that would require the hiring of actual Americans instead of illegals who travel under different words so the enablers don't have to call them illegals.

Imagine a world where we stop buying important things from people who don't like us so that we could lift the less fortunate Americans into the middle class and off the welfare rolls.

Their stadium is only 25 years old and now they’re saying it’s too old and too obsolete?

Are we going to get to a point where every professional sports team is going to demand a new stadium about every 20 years?

Socialized costs, privatized profits.

The jig is up. Taxpayers are done providing public funding for private profit. Billionaires take note.

Lived in Cleveland for 4 years when I did my residency.

Not a Browns fan but went to mega Indian’s game.

Why? Hot dogs with the best mustard on the planet!

Cleveland’s pretty damn broke and this would be totally irresponsible...

So, of course they’ll go for it.

I am an old Browns fan....Otto Graham days.
A friend of mine coached offense under Ratigliano in the late 70’s.
Another friend was a player, nose tackle on defense.
I would tell the Browns, “ move to Oakland, there is an empty stadium that you might sell five hundred seats to watch your pitiful team lose most of their game.

Football was meant to be played in the original Cleveland Municipal Stadium.

Jim Brown
Leroy Kelly
Frank Ryan
Paul Warfield
Cardiac Kids

Right on the Lake. Outdoors.

Not just the Browns...

Get a load of this...

Other stadium deals in the works for pro sports teams around the country

The NFL is starting to remind me of Disney.

And I'm wondering if both now exist to launder money for Deep State.
