major Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I highly recommend a book called BAD SPORTS by Dave Zirin. In it, he discusses the issues of ownership in modern sports. If our tax dollars are used to fund stadiums/sports franchises, we must have some say in the way teams are operated is a recurring theme. I really think you will enjoy this read.

SDS Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 the only small upside of this recession is the death of publicly financed stadiums. In fact, I think the NFL knows this and this is what their extra fund goes to support in the previous CBA and what they want to increase in any new deal. I don't think one red cent should ever come out of a tax-payer's pocket again for anything for the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think one red cent should ever come out of a tax-payer's pocket again for anything for the NFL. Or for MLB, NBA, or NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
