[Trotskilicious]

a whole nation is pissed, i sense a great disturbance in the force as if millions of people are screaming out in fury

I wonder how angry the Brazilian voters will be regarding the billions spent on the cup now that they're out

"Thanks for spending the money that should be feeding your starving children on stadiums so we can party in your country tonight!"

it's insane. I wonder how much public money has been used to build stadiums for billionaires in the US over the past 40 years?

where do you think those shiny new stadiums get built these days as a part of "urban revitalization programs"

aside from all the ghettos we bulldoze just so middle class youth have trendy places to live

[Trotskilicious]

america is going to be exactly the same as brazil give or take ten years

their density and income gap is greater, for now

seattle said fuck you to all of that taxpayer funded arena crap, and so the supersonics moved to oklahoma buttfucking city because all that natty gas money wants a luxury box

Here's how the Detroit Red Wings are getting a half billion dollar arena funded mostly by the taxpayers....

Hint: the money is coming from Taxes in Detroit that are intended to fund the Schools.

Olympia Development will pick up 42% of the arena’s construction cost. The other 58% — the public’s share — will come from a complex financing arrangement that uses school and local property tax revenue collected by Detroit’s Downtown Development Authority to pay off state-issued bonds. The authority will own the arena and lease it — rent-free — to the Red Wings for up to 95 years.

The 30-year bonds would be partially paid off through annual payments of between $12.8 million and $15 million from money the development authority captures from school property taxes. The state would then reimburse any shortfall to Detroit’s per-pupil funding as a result of the redirected property taxes — an obligation that will put state taxpayers on the hook for the majority of the arena project’s public investment.

The Ilitches’ Olympia would contribute $11.5 million a year to paying off the bonds. It is also responsible for any cost overruns during construction, as well as maintenance, repairs and security at the new arena.

Currently the wings lease from the city pf Detrpot a publicly owned arena and the team pays the city a percentage of all ticket, merch and concession sales.

At the new arena the Wings will play rent free and the millionaire owner of Little Ceasar's pizza nolonger has to pay a cut to the city!

Under a new deal hashed out between representatives of the team’s owners, Mike and Marian Ilitch, and state and local development authorities, the Red Wings will no longer have to share 10% of ticket proceeds, 7% of suite sales, 10% of food and beverage concessions, 5% of souvenir sales and other revenue from parking. All of that money — estimated to be about $7 million annually — would belong to the Ilitches’ Olympia Development of Michigan when the team moves north of downtown into a proposed $450-million arena.

honestly watching children at sporting events cry about their team's ass getting kicked is one of my favorite things in life

this is a real humiliation
