Do you think it's fair that tax dollars pay Kobe Bryant's $30 million salary

If you cant even get that right, why should your other assertions be trusted.

Please provide a link that shows how the Staples Center was financed.

I see in the other thread that 8Ball provided another example of a privately funded stadium.

Again, you need to go back to the drawing board and talk about the real issue....your racism disapproved of NBA (and other pro sports) culture, therefore you are happy to see these people leave town. In your mind, they contribute nothing to the community.

Are you stating public financing is not involved in sports arenas? That tax benefits are not given?

If the NBA could build stadiums without any tax concessions or public financing, then I could favor it, but if you're suggesting that the NBA has not profited at the taxpayer expense, then you have revealed your bias.
