Not in NYC metro but it’s narratives like these that have paved the way of Zohran Mamdani.

Taxing for stadiums is robbery.

I’m shocked, just shocked that an NFL owner can actually afford a yacht.

Why spend his own money when he can bribe government officials and get someone else to pay for the stadium. Plus all the grift for the unions.

The people should have been able to vote on paying for the stadium.

The purchase of that 100 million dollar yacht is his money and should not be an issue. The real issue is why in the hell are we subsidizing his team and stadium.

Cities are in an insane bidding war against each other to give subsidizes to these teams to locate in their cities. Stop this insanity and let the free market decide where these teams will locate without the taxpayers money. You want a new stadium? Build it with your money. Tax breaks is a no.

Where do these morons think that $100,000,000 goes when he purchases that yacht?

That money goes to the skilled men & women who plan, design, construct, operate, and maintain that yacht...

In addition, much of it goes to smaller companies that plan, design, and create the yacht furniture and interiors...

Should he, instead, bank it or give it to the government?
Then those thousands of workers can be unemployed or work in McDonald’s and struggle to get by...

That should make these morons happy...

Why, is his yacht registered in a state that minimizes tax obligations instead of New York? Like John Kerry does, that prick?

Re: "Yacht versus New York taxpayers"

Wake up, Buffalo.

If you don't pay for the new stadium, some other city will.

After the taxpayers of Arlington paid $350 MM for Jerry’s World, Jerry Jones got himself a $250 MM yacht.

Pegula also funded the Penn State Hockey program and facility (which is among the best in the country). PSU made it to the Frozen Four last season and picked up what would have been the #1 NHL draft pick Gavin Mckenna for next season.

He also funded his daughter’s very successful pro tennis career.

He seems very driven. OMG

Without the Bills, what does Buffalo really have right now?

The PSU and Buffalo people I know and have talked to over the years like the Pegulas. I’ll take their word for it.

Socialize the debt, privatize the profits. It’s good to be a Democrat!

100% of the big sports teams can afford to borrow 100% for their stadiums without taking a dime from the taxpayers. They are all wealthy businesses with more than enough game and TV ad revenue to pay for any borrowing they need to do.

More of this. Like solar farms, if it’s so economically feasible to build a stadium...then fund it yourself!

While some are furious, others are pointing fingers at state legislators instead.

Yep, from Hochul to the Dem controlled legislatures - they love raising taxes and spending our money.
