The Federal provision not to tax state/municipal bonds, does not in my opinion make a federal subsidy.
All States are treated the same and it doesn’t matter what they spend the money raised from the bonds on.
That’s like saying because the Federal government doesn’t tax freeper KeyLargo everytime he uses the bathroom that I and other federal taxpayers are subsidizing his craps.

Give them 15 bucks an hour.
No more taxpayer funded stadiums for billionaire owners and their millionaire players.
I caught a tail end of an announcement that the Pentagon (?) paid NFL over $6 million to support the troops or something like that. No taxpayer money should go to the NFL and NBA. Seems both of them also got active in a state's bathroom regulations.
I'm not sure on MLB's position on dissing this country. As for NHL, iirc they were active in promoting same-sex marriage.
I wonder how many “no show” jobs and “executive vice president” sinecures there are at these stadiums.
Impose a $10mil/year fine on every franchise, distributed amongst the offending players who take a knee at the national anthem.
