I can get behind some assistance for that.
Not for multi-multi-billionaires to maximize their revenue in a top tier professional league.

OK. So I just want to make sure I understand what you are saying. It's OK to replace McMahon Stadium (even thought the City or Flames don't own it or the parking rights) with tax money so you can get your pet project, MLS to town, but it's not OK to build a new hockey rink because the Flames owners, who have supported charities within the city for over 30 years, would somehow benefit. Did I get that correct.
