Thanks for that analysis but it's not about me. The point is benefits go to a very small minority, and that's not a sustainable way to govern.


> The point is benefits go to a very small minority

60% of Americans enjoy watching football according to https://www.statista.com/statistics/1108544/american-footbal....

Even the 33% who strongly enjoy isn't a small minority. If a team decides to leave because the local city won't build them a stadium, it's very reasonable to think a majority of the local residents will be upset.


It's not a public good. It's a private enterprise and preferential entertainment, even if 99 or 100% of the population enjoy it.
