Anyone else remember when the NFL blackmailed the state over religious freedom? The legislature voted to PRESERVE religious freedom, but Roger Goodell and his minions hate it. And Brewer buckled.
NFL could pull Super Bowl if Arizona religious rights bill passes
Yup. That is indeed one way to tell that you have not made money on an event.
Cities compete for events like the Super Bowl, the Olympics, the World Cup. Sometimes you make money sometimes you lose money. And they build new stadiums to keep or attract a team to make them their home city.
Taxpayers need to hold politicians responsible for bad financial choices.
The situation, AFAIK, is that Glendale is stuck for a lot of the expenses surrounding the SB itself since the stadium is in its town, but that the bulk of the revenue is going to Phoenix, since that is where the fans are staying, and where the runup events are taking place. (P.S. My son lives in Tempe, on the other side of Phoenix from Glendale, and he wrangled a business trip to Denver in order to avoid having to work downtown this week.)
Arizona the SAME RETARD “State” the KEEPS INFLICTING MacPain and FLAKE on the REST of US Election after Election. I HOPE THAT THIS POS “State” TAKES A BATH on this!
The State/City would have been better off without the holiday.
I am just glad it’s on the other side of town, far from me.
Good.
