I have a conundrum. I am a huge NFL fan, but as you know I can’t stand the idea of oligarchic team owners getting taxpayer assistance with their stadiums and their unbelievable not-for-profit(!) status which enables them to pay these ridiculous $20 million a year plus salaries for guys who play a game for a […]
