You shouldn’t either.
And if you think they are being “generous” or whatnot with their spending on the team, I got news for you.
It’s called “revenue sharing”.

We have a good ownership group in place, we are lucky in that regards for sure.
If you don't think public funds should be used on an Event Centre, that's very cool. But you also shouldn't expect billionaires to flush a billion dollars of their own money down the toilet either just cause they might have it. You should just accept we won't have NHL hockey in Calgary because it's losing proposition when massive capital outlays are required to keep the team moving forward. And that is also a 100% ok opinion, it's not what I want for the city, but it's certainly a valid point of view. But don't be ignorant about the data and position it like it's a greedy ownership group trying to squeeze more profits by using public funds.
