anyway, and it gets me going because we were litreally just giving millions of dollars to the sports teams

cause of an old subsidy that was going when the city was still helping pay for the stadium

meanwhile NFL has billions of dollars

and yet the government pays for it

Stadium got sold like 4 times

nobody wants to own or run any of this shit cause they don't make money.

And for whatever retarded fucking reason, we don't make the private sports corporations pay for them

wish people got held accountable at the gov level

The tax subsidy has since ended

but it was going when it wasn't even needed anymore

that's why they pay for it. Because they face no serious blowback

the stadium had started making money enough to pay for itself again

yet they were still getting tax money

fuck the taxpayers or this mega corporations? Taxpayers it is

Millions of dollars that could have been used on literally anything, for a business that makes billions every year

it's insanity

*T A R A N D F E A T H E R*

Then you get Retards like UC

saying we need it for social cohesion

let me tell you last time I had trouble and I needed help the fat guy eating hotdogs and drinking beer helped me out

yeah because sports definitely haven't been a political flashpoint or anything

it does make *some* sense why ppl say that

civic organizations are practically dead

But they don't replace that

so people want to pretend to belong to something local without putting any work in

or, by putting in the "work" of watching a television once a week for a season

and buying paraphenalia

can't foget that

yeah that too

***C O N S O O M***

pay $30 for a shitty shirt and $25 for a fucking hat

more like 70 if you go to the stadium 😉

The Avs for while were getting free ice time from a publicly funded icerink

that's smaller but when I learned about it I was still annoyed

The avs can afford $300 an hour for their ice

why is a city giving it to them for free

because buying politicians is easier than buying that shit

I'm sure they didn't even have to "buy" anyone

it was some retarded city bureaucrat or politician who didn't know there's always a shortage of ice time

and that during hockey season all the amateur clubs and teams are vying for anything they can get.

>if we have the Avs more people will want to come to the ice rink!
