I will never understand why public funds should pay for >50% of the funds for a privately owned sports clubs arena
Cause this is America and the country caters more towards the 1% than the 99%
Let’s be honest - it’s because they can. People lose their mind when sports teams leave. They have leverage
The people have the leverage if they made it an issue. All that it requires is a stroke of a pen by Congress and the President to make it illegal to give any kind of benefit or subsidy to a team that leaves the state.
