If the public is fine for the taxes to increase the value of a billionaire’s team, they should be fine for these taxes to improve the public schools, or the roads, or public transportation. If you choose to give tax money to a private individual you’re still choosing to take it away from an alternative purpose. Why do we spend public money on a team, increase its value, and not get an ownership stake?You need to study how stadiums are paid for. Look how the Titans stadium is being paid for. While Nashville is issuing bonds to pay their part, the bonds are being paid for with funds that wouldn’t exist if not for the stadium deal.
