Not In Their League: Why it's harder to be a sports fan by David Dayen

[SWBTATTReg]

3. These prices are ridiculous and guess who bears the blunt costs of the stadiums themselves, as well as attempting

to locate a team to move to your area? You do, as consumers in that area. As a former RAMS supporter (minor), in STLMO, the RAMS misled supporters and ended up moving west, to a bigger market. The city of STLMO sued them, and won over $750+ million dollars. We've yet to ID how we're going to spend the money.

Don't let these leagues bulldoze you and/or your municipalities into doing something that's not benefitting all of you!

And by the way, I still don't miss the football. A bunch of billionaires playing rough and tumble on the front yard doesn't excite me in the least. Time to say NO to these expensive toys.
