why are taxpayers still footing the bill for their stadiums and direct payments
I'm gonna get pretty far out here on a limb and say because the economic benefits are way more than the cost.

La politicians used the same "logic" with the La. film tax credit deal, even after it was proven a net cost to tax payers.
Folks complain constantly about WIC and EBT, etc. while the Bensons rake in millions from LA taxpayers - the wealthiest woman in the state.

I don't think this actually true. I think that billionaires tend to get their way on this because billionaires tend to get their way on everything.

When you have people upset about all this and not going to games, eating at restaurants, staying in hotels, buy souvenirs.
This mess is effecting innocent people that aren't even involved.. and may or may not agree with Police Brutality.
It usually costs me 2 or 3K to come down to a game and I try to make two a year... Plus I bring friends.
No more.. so that's 6K from one person not going into the Louisiana Economy.

I don't know how I feel about it. There are studies that come down on both sides. I do know for a fact that when Nats Park was built it turned a more seedy part of town into an area with nice apartments with several high profile defense contractors putting offices in the area (I think it's BAE and/or Lockheed but I can't recall.)
In fact, Nats Park did such a job in turning the neighborhood around that it is now accused of playing a significant role in the gentrification of the neighborhood it's in and in the city in general.
