This was another great Onion headline which, frankly, is funny because it rings true.
Just days ago, I published something from Robert Reich about the scam of owners of sports franchises basically blackmailing communities into supporting and paying for very expensive and elaborate stadiums and/or arenas, or claiming that they will leave town. Many of them also get staggering tax breaks and incentives. Greed obviously is very prevalent in sports, like never before - and that's saying something, frankly!
Here, the owner of a sports franchise thanks his fans for supporting the team despite many years of massive tax breaks and incentives.
The team is, of course, real enough. Yes, the Minnesota Vikings actually do exist, even if the owner obviously never would actually say anything quite like this in real life.
Enjoy!
