GWB and therefore his estate profited handily from actions by the State of Texas (eminent domain authority) and the city of Arlington (sales tax increase).

The stadium that benefitted the team he part-owned was not financed by accident.

I’m not arguing that the team and its owners benefited. And I am opposed to public financing of stadia and arenas anyway. But there is still a vast difference between eminent domain for a project owned by the state or city and using eminent domain to give land to a private owner.
