I only wish more states would start doing this, I’m sick of taxpayer money being used to construct stadiums for their billionaire owners. They must think we’re suckers for allowing such a thing.

“I only wish more states would start doing this”

Maybe they will as a result of DeSantis’ actions. I expect many/most taxpayers don’t have a clue their money is being spent this way, and this will raise awareness.

It would be an especially hard pill to swallow when so many are living paycheck to paycheck and paying the bazillion-dollar salaries of illiterate retards whose only claim to fame is being an athlete.

One step further - I feel the same way about public and private colleges as well. Use the endowment funds first.
