Do you people leave the house? Read the Markusoff articles again, when Burke went on saying the Saddledome was inadequate the city was flooded with people against providing public money. That, by definition, means that that view point is not extreme. It means it's actually a mainstream position.
But continue the fallacy of the middle. That those who are against your opinion are somehow some fair outlier from the rational middle of the debate.

This post appears to be directed at me, so I'll respond...
In your usual fashion, you attempt to insult anyone who has a different opinion than you. That makes it difficult to respect your posts.
But allow me to explain something for you:
If there are a range of opinions on a subject, the opinions at each end of the spectrum (in this case: zero funding, and full support/subsidization) are, by definition, extreme views.
It's really not that difficult of a word to understand.
And just because lots of people share that view, that in no way negates or reduces its status as extreme. There is no law that says an extreme view is necessarily uncommon. In fact, they are often all
too common.
