How naive are you?

Let's go back to the old deal where he got $23.5 million cash money.

The corporate tax rate is 8%. He would have to generate net, taxable profits of $293.75 million annually. Forbes estimated the Saints had profits of only $77 million in 2016. (that makes the subsidy about 1 third of their profits--more proof they do not need the subsidy to operate) LINK

When you said "Excuse them of taxes, I assumed you meant ALL of their income taxes.

But, OK. The answer is really the same answer. Would that have kept the team from leaving?

The only thing that REALLY matters in this whole equation is simple. The following has to be answered to evaluate it on something based on facts rather than emotion.

1)Would the team leave absent any consideration?

2)If yes, how much consideration does it take to keep them?

3)Is the monetary loss in losing them greater than the amount it would take to keep them?

I've zero interest in evaluating your overwrought emotional responses if you can't answer 1-3.

But, like I said. I didn't start the thread. That YOU don't seem to think knowing the answers to 1-3 is important is the real absurdity in this thread.

Regardless of what I think, you really ought to want to know those answers if you're going to make a big hairy deal about it.
