John Oliver On the Crooked Corporate Sports Owners
#6
RE: John Oliver On the Crooked Corporate Sports Owners
As much of a Broncos fan as I am, had the deal for their new stadium gone south, I would not have shed a single tear. There was nothing structurally wrong with Mile High, where the team had to pay rent and the city kept the majority of the parking, concession and non-football revenue. Of course, I'm not the rabid, break shit on Sunday, be pissed off all week long if they lose type of fan any longer. Mostly because of expense. I can remember when fan apparel was only marginally more expensive than everyday apparel. Now, and official NFL jersey is $300 (for the asshole that barely rates a jersey) and up. Why? So we can continue paying man-children eight figure annual salaries to play a fucking game. Hell, I used to go to at least a couple games each year. Back when $20 would get me a ticket in the south stands, a dog and a couple beers (not as long ago as you might think). Now, that won't cover parking and the cheapest seat in the house is over $50.00 with a better view of the ISS than the field. If the NFL folded tomorrow, I'd miss it, but honestly, not that much. Especially with an arena team just up the road where season tickets for the best seats in the house are less expensive than single game mid-level seats at a Broncos game.

Fuck the NFL owners and the asshole, multi-million dollar man-children who play the game (and all the other billion dollar leagues). There are too many other entertainment tickets in town.
