That’s because they want your money to fund new stadiums http://www.marketwatch.com/story/nfl-team-owners-want-to-take-away-your-right-to-vote-2015-08-07
John Oliver did a great piece on this, and the way these owners rip off tax payers to pay for their stadiums, it really pisses me off that these billionaires are able to hold cities hostage, and force them to build a stadium. They always claim these stadiums will provide economic growth, but if that was true they would build them themselves and enjoy the profits. Bottom line is there is zero economic benefit from these stadiums and its nothing more than welfare for the filthy rich.
