@raphjd:
I've always hated that taxpayers have to build stadiums for wealthy cunts to make more money.
I was so happy when Houston stood up to Bud Adams and the Oilers.
Even worse is when the team gets a massive amount of taxpayer money to build a stadium… and in exchange they sign a contract to stay in that stadium, But then, after a few years, the team starts bitching that the stadium is obsolete and they need a new one. Then they decide they want out of their contract entirely so they can move the team completely out of the area. A contract means noting when a bit of fast cash is waved under the noses of councilmen who have the authority to vacate the contract.
I have some experience with this personally. About 20 years ago, I got the task of detailing all the steel for a new scoreboard at Tampa Stadium where the Tampa Bay Bucaneers play. It was massive and state-of-the-art. They screwed me over by only paying me half of what they agreed to for my work because the deadline to complete the work was missed. That is also bullshit.. because I finished 5 months before the deadline, but they continued to make changes to the design for months after giving me the job. I wound up doing that job 3 times because of all their changes. They should have been charged for revisions, but instead they screwed me. Anyway, it took a year to build the new scoreboard... but just 10 years later, they again decided they needed a new scoreboard to replace that one!
