Interesting. The public is against subsidizing billionaires but DC is the home of the swamp. Time for the MAGA people to step up. TrumpI'm sure has an opinion and the NFL is scared of it.

The entire city of DC is publicly subsidized

Of course they believe in free shit - from football stadiums to health care to the tooth fairy.

without our printed, fiat, currency, all the massive government debt and bloated woke government it supports - Washington DC would be a backwater.

Could the polling company be lying? The Post gave us Woodward/Bernstein.

DC screwed up forty years ago and forced the Redskins to decamp to the suburbs. Jack Kent Cooke took his team and left. Now, seeing the success of Nationals Stadium DC has decided it wants the Redskins - oh, Commanders! - back. Not one dime of public money should be spent!

How about a straight per capita tax. Every man, woman and child in DC owes $1,500 for the privilege of having a palace for millionaires to play for their billionaire team owners.

Always remember, subsidies are life support for bad ideas.

Commanders. Sounds like the name for a contraceptive item or an adult diaper.

Football or baseball?

The argument for public funding is that the stadium attracts fans who spend more money; in this case from VA and MD as well as DC. Football will attract 80,000 fans 6-7 times a year. No business is going to do well with a crush of customers 6-7 times a year. Baseball will bring a more modest number, but 81 times a year. But then baseball already has a fairly new stadium.
