The funniest part of all of this is that these owners use corporate welfare to built their stadiums


It's not welfare, it's the free market. If your city won't pay for a team, another city is willing. Stadiums are part of the cost of your city having an NFL franchise. The owners are in the position of power here. The NFL is so marketable there are other cities willing to pay if your city won't. That's just capitalism, and smart business by the owners. The city/ state could always just say no, use your own profits, but then the team will just move to a city that will pay.

No, it's corporate welfare.

It's government handing out tax dollars.
