Minnesotans - do you think you were well represented in the recent Vikings stadium vote?

21. It's just another face of the corporate supremacist hydra,

put another way corporate or oligarch domination over government and in turn the people.

By not allowing publicly owned teams, they can more easily play cities or states, basically the tax paying people, against each other in bidding up and paying for stadiums, getting tax breaks for the owners from those governments, and I believe more easily commercializing the game, naming stadiums after some corporation instead of the city or state which the team is based in, increasing the cost of tickets, all to honor the almighty dollar.

The greed has gotten to the point of being repulsive.

Growing up I used to enjoy watching football, the Vikings under Bud Grant were actually my favorite team, today I'm more likely to support the Titans but I'm still fond of the Vikings.

Having said that I've lost a great deal of affection for watching football period, too damn many commercials which has all but ruined the game for me.
