This is why I no longer watch professional sports. As much as I love to listen to Rush Limbaugh, his affection for the Steelers and the NFL is misguided. As a Pennsylvania taxpayer, I deeply resent the blackmailing of the state by the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh teams to get us to build them new stadiums.
Of course if Gov. Ridge had had any guts, he would have said, “Don’t let the door hit you on the ass.”
Study after study shows that building expensive sports stadiums does nothing to reverse urban decay.
Hey it worked for Jerry Jones...and look how good they are!!
I gave up many years ago when I lived in Atlanta and followed the braves. They had a player named Bob Horner that came straight from college (did not play in the minors)He hurt his finger not long after arriving in Atlanta and refused to play. Later he was sent to the minors and refused to go.
No professional team has gotten one penny from me since then.
I do enjoy college football; however this Cam Newton situation may cause me to give up on sports altogether.
