Jim Brown, host of GCNs Commons Sense asks the question: Should State Government Subsidize Pro Sports? It’s great to have a professional sports franchise close to where you live. But how good a deal is it for taxpayers who are often called upon to underwire the cost of having a pro team? The Green Bay Packers, one of the smallest sports markets in the country, cost the state of Wisconsin nothing. Zero! A heck of a deal. The New Orleans Saints have cost Louisiana taxpayers, so far, almost $500 million. Is it worth it? Should the state subsidize a football team and ignore the numerous public needs? Take a look at Jim Brown’s new column that analyzes this very problem. You can read it now by going to: jimbrownusa.
