Bernie Augustine is reporting in 'The New York Daily News', "The next time an NFL ownership group says it needs public financing for a new stadium, remember this figure.
Each of the NFL’s 32 teams received a $226.4 million payout from the league’s revenue-sharing program, a generous slice of the $7.2 billion pie pumped up by massive television contracts."

Not only are taxpayers forced to foot a large chunk of change to support football, so too are each and everyone of us who pays for our monthly TV service. How about those season ticket holders shelling out hundreds of dollars in addition to see a game in person. Don't forget fans while there to outfit yourself with paraphernalia, stuff yourself with overpriced food and beer too.
Hey there's nothing wrong with football. I enjoy it as much as the next guy. What I fail to see is why people willingly spend this kind of money. Especially tax dollars. Yeah it's only a game; a game of how to separate fans' and taxpayers money from peoples' wallets every way possible.
There's very few other places you can go in this society where 20,000 or 30,000 people are screaming and hollering in utter delight and enthusiasm while being exploited. Many of the very same who are angry as hell when government tries to take their money to pay for education, pensions and so forth. After all that's less they'd have in their pockets to spend on lining the pockets of multimillionaires in sports, right?
It's the height of hypocrisy dropping oodles of money to make sports millionaires even richer while many of these same people resent paying workers a decent minimum living wage who serve up their overpriced food, souvenirs and beer. There's just something wrong with that.
THANKS SUCKERS !
