If anyone wants a textbook example of how NFL team owners play cities off against each other to wring a financial bonanza out of area taxpayers, watch this story as it plays out.
I can’t watch the NFL on TV. A game takes nearly 4 hours and after watching 2 hours worth of ATT, Wendy’s and Ford 150 commercials, I feel my brain has been fried.
Your post would be correct a few years ago, and that’s certainly how it’s always played out before. This time will likely be different. The economic reality is not the same anymore. St. Louis doesn’t have any more taxpayer money to throw at the Rams, and the guy is a developer and owns the land for a new stadium. The NFL might even be a partner in the new venue. This is much more likely to happen than any time since the Rams and Raiders left.
