2. Chicken feed to these folks

I suspect it won’t make any difference.

St. Louis repeatedly lets itself get taken to the cleaners by professional sports franchises and the tax dollars flow from the citizens to line the pockets of the wealthy. Always the same tired sell that this next new stadium to be built by the people’s money will bring all sorts of economic benefits and prestige to the community. Instead the populous is left holding the bag on another just another bad deal.

I understand but some folks enjoy professional sports, but I wish they would pay their own way and not use tax dollars that are needed by the community.
