Very few businesses make more money off the Government dollar then Professional Sports. Teams owned by Billionaires make the cities/states purchase stadiums for them and then give them subsidies like Utility,Payroll, and Sales Tax breaks as well as write offs and depreciation's. This only list the stuff we know about.
Small Wonder the late Art Modell who used to own the Cleveland Browns and the Baltimore Ravens described his fellow owners as "26 Conservatives that vote Socialist"
Erik: You're right, stadium owners are some of the most blatant examples of billionaires sponging off the taxpayers. And if you dare to mention this publicly, you're either a wimp who doesn't like sports and/or "What?!? (name of city) can't be a World Class City unless we have a major league football/baseball team! What are you, some sort of #$%&!#???"
