Which again, those jobs would be great, however these dozens of jobs are always brought forth in arena debates as a reason to fork over hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer money.
If people throwing out this line really cared about efficient job creation isn't there many other ways we could spend hundreds of millions to create jobs?
Hell, we could literally just pay dozens of people to do nothing every year and still come out better than the arena job creation route. This job creation stuff always comes off quite disingenuous from those who likely just want a new arena.

This is probably true. i'd think its more then "dozens" but still not "Hundreds"
