They also use tax money to build stadiums, despite being run and owned by billionaires. Basically, they're an evil corporation. And by "basically" I mean "literally".

Go to church every Sunday, listen to the pastor tell you who you should hate. Then catch a beer and the game, watch some kid wreck his life with a concussion. The bloodier and more brutal the sport, the better.

I have no problem the way they used to do it, for example in Pittsburgh when the city)state out up like 15% of the money and it cost 280 million total
Now they are building monstrosities and asking for all the money. Buffalo does not need to spend 1.4 billion on a stadium
Insane and criminal

The worst part is that they then charge outrageous prices for tickets, food, and beverages.

Maryland said it was too expensive to build a light rail in Baltimore connecting it's most impoverished neighborhoods to jobs but has gone ahead with 1.2 billion in funding for stadium district revitalization. No new stadiums just upgrades...

The "NFL" doesnt do that, individual owners do. There are some owners that dont as well.
However it was the NFL, the organization, that covered up brain damage for years and sued to not pay any healthcare for the players who had their brains bashed in.

This is why San Diego lost the Chargers. SD voted on whether or not use tax money to re-do the stadium. They voted no. So the Chargers moved to LA.
