in the last 20 years 23 national football league teams have spent an average of $250 million in taxpayerebuilding of stadiums for a total of $5.7 billion. that is the same amount of money that donald trump wants to get to begin building his wall. well, sorry, mr. president. that money is already gone. we used it to build walls around tom braid yas playpens. and the people inside of those walls are very, very rich. the richest man in the world was at the super bowl on sunday. everyone on the field is rich. coaches, players. the fans in the seats at the super bowl are the richest fans in america, but they need taxpayers to subsidyize this giant industry called football. what if we didn't? what if we didn't pay for their stadiums? the los angeles rams actually ran that test for us. politicians in los angeles were doing everything they possibly could to come up with hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer money to get the rams to move to los angeles, and los angeles politicians were doing that at the very same time. very same time that they were telling los angeles school teachers they d
