When I was in high school in Cleveland, an adult I knew, when asked what he thought about the Indians, exclaimed, "There's Indians in town? Run for your lives!"
Now I have the same so what attitude toward sports. With the demands of the Minnesota Vikings to have the taxpayers fund a new stadium for them, I say,
The Vikings of olden times plundered states.
The Vikings of Minnesota plunder the state.
or "There's Vikings in town? Hang on to your wallet!"
Another argument I've seen is that the taxpayers of Minnesota are being asked to pay over a billion dollars to a billionaire for a bar for 50,000 drunks.
If so many are calling for governments to live within their means, why can't sports teams live within their means?
