I get that some taxpayers don’t like it but don’t be hypocritical and keep watching and supporting if it bothers you so much. As a sports fans I’m tired of hearing the whining in sports threads by the hypocrites. Go whine on Reddit or something.

No the whining should be here.
If all municipalities got together and said no there would still be professional sports teams. There is sufficient revenues in all these leagues to pay for a new stadium every year and cycle through each team on a 30 year basis. The cap is 80 million. A 50 million cap and a 1 billion per year arena fund. It doesn’t even impact the owners profits just the players.
The government permits collusion and anti trust activities within these leagues that aren’t permitted in other industries. The current tax payer subsidized arena program is a problem of all municipalities collectivelies own making.
