Because the billionaire usually has other options.

Because the billionaire usually has other options. I don’t understand why people think they have leverage. It’s either help the billionaire or watch them leave. We’ve seen this show before. Numerous times.

If the choice is tax giveaways for more corporate suites or watching the team leave...then don't let the door hit you on the way out. Even better if all the billionaire groupies follow them to the next scam.

But that’s the extreme minority view. Most citizens don’t care - that’s why this happens endlessly and people get all pissed off when they lose a team.
