I have to agree. It's pretty disgusting how the owners threaten cities until they get a new hundreds million dollars stadium, and how the NFL, MLB, and other leagues are complacent in this.

But what's worse, far worse, is how the fans have no problem with their own governments being fleeced. Their tax dollars are used to build the lavish stadiums and then they're expected to pay exorbitant amounts just to go see a game.

Bread and circuses indeed.

The Roman government at least paid for the bread and circuses, right? They didn't ask the populace to pay for the right to pay for circus season tickets ...
