Sports franchises should build their own facilities with private funds. They should not expect taxpayers to foot the bill.

Every economic study has shown that taxpayer funding of stadiums doesn't pay.

Raise taxes. Build stadiums. Get campaign contributions. Get access to the owners' boxes for the games. Sounds like it pays pretty well for the politicians.

The citizens on the other hand...
