Ed Graney’s Monday piece on the Arizona Diamondbacks stadium quandary hits the nail on the head. (“D-backs fans a little baffled”).
Once a town throws money at a sports team and a stadium, that team will keep coming back for more.
Professional sports generates billions and billions of dollars, yet taxpayers are consistently left on the hook.
Go Raiders.
