The image at the top of the article appears to be Los Angeles' new Sofi Stadium. That was a poor choice, as the stadium was built with private dollars. Los Angeles has done a lot of things wrong, but for over 20 years they denied throwing money at a stadium and eventually Stan Kroenke used private funding to buld a $4 billion stadium (L.A. might have provided infrastructure, such as roads).

Yet, despite wading in stacks of cash, the NFL continues to force American taxpayers to pay to build its team’s new stadiums or put billions of tax dollars into renovating older ones.

The NFL didn't force anybody to do anything. The team can threaten to leave if they don't get their way . . . hardly the equivalent of turning off the hot water. St. Louis still exists, and they never gave the Rams much love anyway, it's a baseball town.

" Stan Kroenke used private funding to buld a $4 billion stadium (L.A. might have provided infrastructure, such as roads)."

Getting approx. 100M in tax abatements from the city, it's a fraction of what he put in, but it's not nothing.

But what you're missing is that Stan got the NFL to put up nearly a billion in loans, and they were able to do so because of the taxpayers footing the bill elsewhere.

So Las Vegas taxpayers, who footed 750M of Allegiant Stadium's bill, just as one example, were fleeced for Kroenke's massive overruns on SoFi.

BUT-—They tore down Hollywood Park racing course to build it.
