they pay a 10 percent entertainer's tax for every visit to Philly. I don't know if there is any tax reciprocity or how it works. I do know this is why city/state will build a free stadium for their teams.

Like I wrote - it's complicated. Pretty sure that the various leagues handle the various billings since it's time based vs. contract numbers, etc.

Few are anything close to free. LA's was $5 billion and privately financed.

What gets me is the amounts that pro athletes are being paid.
They may think they are but no jock is worth a million dollars.

Have to agree with you Roger, when salaries went berserk in the late 90's I lost interest in pro sports. I haven't watched any pro sports in decades, not even watch my home team KC Chiefs.

La’s stadium is a different deal. It’s a complete entertainment park. It comes from the NFL loaning the owner money

I couldn’t agree more. When it became politicized and they started dissing the country it was over for me. Screw them, they could never go to another country and make millions and be adored by millions of people like they can here.

Add me to the list and add a Hollywood boycott to the sports. No movies, no TV cable. No Thanks! Don't miss any of it.

Politics or not. All of this forum is out of the age demographics in targeted sports advertisements. Bottom line they don't care about you either.

You're right but I didn't care when I was in that age group either.

You can't make this stuff up. This lady gets her whole family sick. They fly in form all over north America. catch corona from her. Some of them spend time in a hospital. then her husband's truck breaks. a stranger starts a gofundme for them and the stranger is upset donations are so low. I can't figure out if this is stupidity at it's best or mankind being really nice.

I’m more curious about how there going to handle the people pouring through the border. Will they get vaccinated or quarantined for 2 weeks? Will they be given a mask or tested? I guess those Obama cages will come in handy.

That's a very good point. I was wondering that, too.

Honestly, I'm a lot more concerned about the vaccine distribution getting resolved.

Multiple-concerns are afoot. Life is complicated , isn't it.
