ESPN went to great lengths to display the devastation down in New Orleans and how half the city is still destroyed. Spike Lee lamenting the poor etc. No one mentioned how ironic it is that the city managed to come up with $180 million to refurbish their football stadium while not using those funds to rebuild elsewhere/ aid the downtrodden.
Naturally we all know why, because the investment in the stadium has a return, sold out tickets for every game plus concessions, parking, etc. While helping to rebuild the city - well, no financial return there.
I love football. I think its great that they're playing there again. But where are their priorities? Like everything else, its all about the money.
