I only support that if they have Dota2 streamers playing

without the Esports what do they have to bond over?

BBC and a salad bar

AFAIK we don't subsidize stadiums for Esports, and Esports orgs pay taxes.

There's special tax code for pro sports orgs

A lot of stadiums are maintained by tax payer subsidy despite NBA, NFL, etc making millions

lets applicable for the NHL since it's the least profitable

There's a whole set of laws so the teams themselves can pay less taxes, and the parent organizations pay little to no taxes even if they're not nonprofits..

This idea that they add something socially when they extract so much from local communities

no but we need muh stadiums and muh sports team

some guy wearing the jersey for your city doen't mean anything, the corporation "representing" your city extracts from your city

doesn't matter if we have to morgage everything

We paid for the stadium here

and it went insolvent

just another way to launder money from the public and put it in the hands of corporations

at least your fucking city didn't pay for a MLS stadium

<:howdareyou:635352908107481109>

Yet somehow these sportsball players "represent" the community

genuinely wanted to tar and feather the local gov over that shit

didn't you hear @UnrelatedComa it's the last place we have social cohesion

it's the last shred of community we have

imagine being such a smooth brain you pay actual legal tender for a soccer stadium in America

these billionaire corporations...

they represent the community Goy

Pay for this stadium it'll be good for the economy

it's like the olympics

build this stuff for the olympics it'll be great for the economy goy

you'll have all this great infrastructure

I really do not understand how sports fan try to add some virtue or moral good into their hobby when you criticize it in anyway

socially or economically

You liking to watch some pro team or sport isn't improving your community

you thinking it's helping anything in your local life is just to justify your hobby in another realm...

>but the jobs the illegal hotdog vendors and ticket scalpers! It's good for the GDP!!!

idk why you're going on about this

What would you like me to go on abotu

Gun that's taken the most lives is surely superior
