[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The reasoning is that a sports team brings business and jobs to the city.[/b] I think the cost/benefit of the stadium deals is worthy of discussion, but it isn't just spending for billionaires. They have teams, those teams are valuable, and they can move them.[/quote]Actually there are economists who would argue with that. That's what's so bizarre about this stuff is that apparently there are credible experts who think this is not a net benefit to cities and [b]yet cities continue to foot the bill[/b].[/quote] That's because the leaders of many cities are just as sophomoric as the general citizenry, when it comes to sports teams. They believe the stats they want to believe.[/quote]
