Corporations provide ancillary benefit too. Look at how many businesses have gone under downtown from the collapse in office jobs. My point is corporations provide more tangible benefits than a sports team. It's not particularly close. Using incentives to keep large employers is more financially worthwhile than incentives for sports teams. If incentives for sports teams provided anywhere near the benefit some claim, wouldn't cities be tripping over themselves to lure sports teams?
