Have you considered becoming an NFL owner to help ensure your team doesn't move across state lines?

Are you suggesting that state and city governments and voters require the federal government to nanny state them out of making stupid agreements with for profit businesses? Interesting argument…

If the City of Chicago or the State of Illinois eventually get a federal government bailout, the main cause will be pensions, not corporate subsidies.

I'm not saying I agree with corporate subsidies. I'm saying that as long as you're doing them, there's a good argument to giving them to sports teams, as they are part of the cultural fabric of the city.
