Bah, humbug.
I used to be a simpleton 30 years ago who cheered about the small company located near my city who garnered sweetheart taxpayer deals for stadiums, overcharged for seats, food and beer so people could be filled with false pride about something they had no part in watch a bunch of overpaid people help sell cars and beer on TV.
It's like paying to stand in the parking lot of your local Wallmart to cheer for the executives.
"Yeah! Way to go Walmart! I'm sooooo proud of you!"
