What a joke.

Tell these billionaire welfare leeches to fuck off.

    I’d be interested on what the return to the county is on taxes for Bengals games. Are they earning back more than 350m over 10 years, or are they just losing money?

      We paid over a billion and change for 30 years. I can’t imagine 350 million over 10 years (even with inflation) is that much better. Not to mention the Bengals are earning 93% of all profits on parking for game days as well. And the “rent” is a joke.

      But that’s just my take.

        I mean, we shouldn’t have to pay for a damn thing really after 3 decades but yes, somehow 350 million. And you know in ten years they’ll just want a whole new stadium anyway. All on our dime of course.
