[Way past time for these NFL taxpayer subsidy ripoffs to end]
Right there with ya.
Die, NFL. Die.
NFL needs to fire the Clinton crony Joe Lockhart who is their Director of Communication..
Joe Lockhart was Clinton’s Press Secretary during the Monica fiasco and the impeachment.(When Monica took a knee for Bill)
He rented his house in Washington DC to the Obamas when they moved from the WhiteHouse.
His wife is an Exectuive Editor with Glamour Magazine and Conde’ Nast, who also owns GQ Magazine. Thus the Colin Kaepernick GQ A-Hole of the Year..
Same Company owns the Alabama newspapers blasting Roy Moore.
It’s all part of the swamps tentacles.
Well said, couldn’t agree more. I’m also sure that Monica wasn’t the first or last to take a knee for the horn dog.
“Way past time for these NFL taxpayer subsidy ripoffs to end, let these multimillionaire owners provide their own stadiums for the players to exercise their first amendment rights in.”
NFL owners are not multi millionaires, they are multi billionaires and in most cities taxpayers are more than happy to subsidize the NFL owners with hundreds of millions of dollars.
That is the choice of the taxpayers.
AGREED
Fixed it.
No, in most cases, the votes must approve subsidies for NFL owners.
And in every other case, the state or local legislatures approve such funding.
And in no instance has any proposal been voted down, nor has any politician lost their job for approving funding to the NFL.
Also no profits and some churches.
Are you saying if the local, county, state politicians were against these subsidies the people would still vote for them, I don’t think so.
Politicians have much sway over the voters in these ripoffs.
“Are you saying if the local, county, state politicians were against these subsidies the people would still vote for them, I don’t think so.”
I’m saying that voters have free will and no one holds a gun to their head in the voting booth.
Lets git ‘er done, folks!
It cost taxpayers in Atlanta $700 million for the new Mercedes Benz Stadium. Arthur Blank, owner of the Falcons, in worth $3 billion.
Here’s a good article from The Guardian explaining how the Atlanta taxpayers got ripped off.
So the NFL is like many other Corporate Welfare Queens.
Thanks, a very good article and Blank is laughing all the way to the bank.
Bump!
All so a bunch of illiterate adult thugs who contribute nothing of tangible value to the collective knowledge of the human race can make millions chasing after a childrens ball.
“Politicians have much sway over the voters in these ripoffs.”
Spot on! And as always, the “business community” is all lined up with the pols to “two-step” these financial disasters past the gullible voters. This also explains how the downtown streets get repaved, but somehow not the neighborhoods.
Don’t we expect to be ripped off by the Negro Felons League? Let them get jobs instead of playing games with little balls.
No, the NFL produces nothing useful. It’s a game for crying out loud not some useful household product.
