American companies looking to build anything big play communities off against each other, and get free land and tax breaks. It should stop at all levels.....and if it did sports teams wouldnt constantly be threatening to move.

I didn't know that there are teams such as the Raiders that have their stadiums paid for via taxes. As much as I like them, it's really effed up because that money could be used towards something more constructive to our city, as this video implies. The owner is filthy-rich, so he should be able to pay for a new stadium on his own. It's funny because high-rollers like him are the main ones who derail against overreaching government when it comes to their pocketbooks, but they want their stadiums to be paid for with everyone's tax dollars, even people who don't watch sports.

Just thought I'd throw that out there to get everyone's Monday morning started right lol

eom

But what he is talking about is insane.

Cutting police by 18%.

And in addition the Raiders suck. There a terrible team.

Except that - unlike Cenk - I think it's a stupid game. Actually, what physical sports games aren't??? We're a nation brought up on fighting and enemy-izing the other guy (gal). Cage fighting, boxing, hockey (brawling on ice with sticks) - you name it - aside from betting - who makes money on these spectacle confrontations???

Somebody - PLEASE - PM me when they start sending out fan appreciation checks. If the payouts are worth my time, I might start watching.
