It’s about approaching our political leaders with the now indisputable truth: stadium construction deals are corporate welfare hotels that don’t return on their promised investment and most city officials are either too cowardly or too compromised to stop them. The idea that we are giving tax money to owners who are then under no obligation to tell the truth to the public about the general state of their finances is appalling. Let’s make it clear: to the billionaire owners of baseball teams: pay for your own damn stadiums. If you do take public money from us, then we the people should have a public ownership stake in the teams. Major League Baseball’s owners have been playing dirty for far too long. It’s time to send them to the showers and for fans to get off the bench. Revelations of Rot: Behind Baseball’s Corporate Crime Wave ☀
