No, I'm against public funding for sports owners play toys in general. We're but one example. But it happening in cities all over the world doesn't make it not practical here. It makes it routine for ownership groups to force cities to bend over to their demands and then use that free capital they acquire to charge more money and generate more revenue for....themselves.
It's one of the most ludicrous things around, but the US kind of set the precedent by putting sports entertainment and the owners stadiums/arenas above pretty much any civic need.
