I think I may have a different take on this then some other posters. I would certainly spend one dollar to make 2 dollars. I would also spend 1 million dollars to make 2 million dollars. That is what the owners of these sport teams are doing. They are just being free market capitalists. The cities give them tax breaks on their stadiums because their teams bring in lots and lots of revenue for the city. It is that revenue that helps to pay our teachers and police and fire fighters. The fault is our own. We are the ones that watch sports on tv and buy tickets at outrageous prices to the games. If no one watched, the athletes wouldn't be paid.
