Why aren't liberals protesting the NFL?

They contribute over 90% of the revenue to your beloved governments. They fund most of the corporations in this nation, that provide us so many jobs and products and entertainment. What more do you want them to "contribute"?

Oh, thats right, you all want them to pay for your housing, healthcare, education, transportation and anything else you WANT but dont want to pay for.

So, would you tell Seattle residents to stop whining about Boeing relocating a lot of it's jobs to Charleston, SC, because it was economically better for Boeing? Because Obama Inc filed a lawsuit over that one, and Seattle liberals were irate and there were hateful cartoons in the Seattle media mocking the people of SC over it.

You control 90% of the wealth.....don't complain if you pay 90% of the taxes
I just don't see why we should continue policies that enable you to accumulate more wealth

I didn't give a shit if Boeing moved or not
Just like I dont care if the Vikings move. Minnesota has a piece of shit stadium. If they dont want to cough up the money for a modern facility...don't bitch if someone else does



Those same policies also allow YOU or any other whining liberal to accumulate wealth. Thats the beauty of capitalism over socialism or communism, is that ANYONE can get rich.

But you gotta work, and not take out 100K in loans to major in "Diversity Studies" to do it.

Wow....you thought that one up yourself?
Yes....this is America...everyone has an equal chance of getting rich. It is a level playing field and if you are not rich it is your own fault

The key is ...The Golden Rule
He who has the gold makes the rules

The rules are made by the rich for the rich to ensure their ability to accumulate and maintain wealth is not impeded. And they have a whole political party to ensure it
 
Imagine if rich Bank of America CEO's were forcing the local taxpayers to pay for a new skyscraper for them to work in, with the threat of moving out of the city???

Now. Why isn't the left protesting NFL teams doing this?

It happens all the time. Rich corporations demand tax breaks and subsidies or they will move out of state. The NFL is no different.

What does this have to do with the left?

Tax breaks are different that actual tax dollars being spend you dope!

Tax breaks are dollars you dope
If you don't have to pay a tax that others do...you get an advantage and pocket the difference

Now. Why isn't the left protesting NFL teams doing this?

Now imagine that a skyscraper is like an NFL stadium. :eusa_shhh:

Both are big ass buildings that rich people do business in. What else ya need?

So is the Pentagon. Is this your rant against big ass buildings? Because you're waaay late
 
Why aren't conservatives protesting the NFL?

The NFL is a centrally planned, socialist organization with an affirmative action program and a marxist draft format.

It's an organization that gives half of it's revenue to it's workers ON TOP of their salary.

TV revenue is split evenly amongst the teams even tho those with the greatest draw are the ones who are featured on Monday and Sunday night football. In fact, the central planners of the NFL often flex out bad matchups to put better teams on national TV games but the teams who participate aren't compensated for it.

The NFL rewards the worst team in the NFL with the top pick in the NFL draft all in the name of making things fair and giving the lesser teams a better chance at being competitive. It penalizes the best team by giving them the last pick in the draft order.

The NFL limits the total amount of money a team can spend on player salary in the name of fairness.

The NFL has even fixed the value or rookie contracts in their new slotted system for the draft.

Each year more and more rules are added to the game to manipulate how the players play on the field and to "protect" the players, who have made their own decision to put their bodies on the line, from getting "hurt".

The quarterback position has become a protected class.

The NFL has a rule that makes teams at least interview one black candidate when seeking a head coach.

Etc. Etc. Etc.

Its already happening. A liberal blog is advocating it. A leftie is on Slate saying it. Liberals have wanted to go after football for decades. Just like the military, football is a bastion of machismo, alpha male behavior, violence and little tolerance for outside influences. They wanna take it down badly.

Hell, liberal hero FDR used the federal govt to ban a particular football play, the "flying wedge", a kickoff return play, because it was too dangerous. The Feds, banning a sports play.

It was Republican Theodore Roosevelt who banned the flying wedge



You know what.........you're right, I was wrong. I always thought it was FDR, looked it up, and I stand corrected.

Republican Theodore Roosevelt banned a football play.

Democrat and liberal hero FDR.......rounded up US citizens and put them in prison camps for NO OTHER reason than being of Japanese or German heritage.

Sorry bout that mixup.

Not a single Republican stood up to protest the interment of the hated Japs.

I dont get it.

I was quite poor. Homeless at one point. No political affilaiation at the time.

Yet over the years, I accumulated wealth by working, starting a company, selling a company, starting another one, splitting it in two and selling them....and now retired at the age of 54.

All of my childhood friends started out poor...we were all poor....we lived just noirth of the Bronx. A day out was stickball in the street.

Yet We all did quite well.

Yet we didnt know any politicians nor did we know any rich people.

Do you have the cell phone number of your Congressman?

If not......then you are not rich
 
Liberals don't hate rich people....we just believe they should not get as many perks and contribute more to society

If Minnesota wants to keep the Vikings....build a new stadium
If not.....then don't whine when they leave

It's a free country

I swear on my life you don't understand the first part of economics...

You're one of the dumbest motherfuckers I have ever encountered in my life...

It is simply amazing how an individual could be so fucking dumb.... Oh, and I absolutely believe every word I'm typing, and have typed....

It is mind-boggling how you have not managed to piss on the 3rd-rail yet...

A Critical Battle Over The Sports Economics Model | Goldwater Institute

A good article for those interested in this, as one can see, this has little to do with one's politcal beliefs being set in stone as the Goldwater Institute often is a harsh critic of both sides of the political isle. It serves to show that the funding of one stadium has put the City of Glendale in bad financial straights and very much depends on the success of one franchise without any ownership by the City and the other puts the Arizona taxpayers on the hooks for what is about 1/3rd the entire value of the franchise itself. Again and this is just a personal opinion here, I look at funding a stadium like a car loan, if the taxpayers are lending say the Cardinals 300 plus million for a stadium then the taxpayers should be a lein holder of that franchise till the loan is paid off, regardless of whatever their political beliefs are. The Ownership, as I mentioned as the ability as they should to do whatever they wish with the team, move it or accept the loan.

I dont have his number.

And rich is a relative term.

I live comfortably, have very little debt (only debt that makes sense rate wise)....and my money will outlive me.

Not sure what else anyone would need to be deemed rich.

Yet, somehow, common ordinary "99%"ers keep finding ways to become self-made millionaires in this system which, you say, is rigged to ensure that it doesn't happen.

So, what is stopping you from becoming rich? From starting a business and getting wealthy? What is more in your way, a rich guy.......or the govt?

They preferred not to go to interment camps also. But to most Americans both Democrat and Republican........they were just Japs and could not be trusted
 
Based on my experience, when cities build skyscrapers for businesses, the businesses pay rent/lease money to the cities. The buildings aren't just GIVEN to the business(es).

When cities build sports stadiums, do the cities then receive rent/lease money from team owners? I doubt cities actually build sports stadiums and then just GIVE them to the team owners - do they?

There is rich as in money and rich as in power

There are many Americans, myself included, who have accumulated enough wealth to live comfortably

The 1% are beyond comfortable and have the power and influence to change policy.

Yes. They do. Which is one of many reasons I wonder why Occupy isn't throwing shit through windows at NFL offices and stadiums.
