This is the only day of the year when even Democrats root for millionaires.

“This is the only day of the year when even Democrats root for millionaires.”

I root for individuals becoming millionaires; I don’t root for millionaires sucking on the public tax trough as does the NFL at all levels. I just heard where security for this game will cost Phoenix taxpayers and probably all US taxpayers many millions if not more. Why are not those entities that are profiting (30 seconds=$4mil) subsidizing security for their game.

If you had a retail store and feel that you need security for a big sale, taxpayers do not pay. If the NFL monopoly was paying the costs of their venue including stadium rental etc, they would not be able to pay the owners and players billions. Instead ultimately much goes on our national credit card. The system is corrupt.

Next time you attend such a sporting event ask the ticket promoter for your “taxpayer courtesy discount”. It seems everyone gets a cut of the taxpayer’s largesse but taxpayers.
