It is so easy to put up your road block claims and never analyze what it actually means, I am going to refer to it as the Big Mac argument, yes it is a burger but it is any good... any real sustenance?

There aren't any studies that exist that aren't written by a professional sports franchise showing the benefits. There isn't any studies showing that when a team leaves it hurts the economies of the cities they left.
If you actually are interested in having a debate on the value of various kinds of public spending I am open to it. I don't believe you are. However, if you are please provide the studies showing the harm of a team leaving the city based on an actual team leaving.

So since you are trying to play martyr now we should go back to the ridiculous troll post that you came in with and the thoughtful response that I made.
So if you wish to engage in rational discussion of your position let's do it. Instead you straw man the whole thing by responding to only the most extreme posts and then cry persecution. You aren't interested in having a debate.
