I hope more voters/representatives make teams pay for their own stuff.
Or at least get the city a percentage of profits that tax dollars are helping to generate. I don't understand why it's so popular for tax dollars to be used for private use.

Because its easy money. These teams has figured out they can exploit the voter base because of an individuals affinity for their team. I hope this is the beginning of a changing of the guard. Teams need to either foot the bill or share the profits with those who foot the bill.

Locals felt betrayed by the Marlins and took it out on the dolphins.
