Yeah that $5M dollars is fucking bullshit. They're moving there to make more money, fine, they're a business, that makes sense. But don't ask everyone else to pick up the cost of the initial investment. God knows the taxpayers aren't gonna get any part of the eventual profits. Typical billionaires, looting the taxpayers treasury. Sports stadiums are maybe the most obvious example of it, but you see this everywhere - huge rich corporations trying to "socialize" their expenses, but "privatize" their profits. That's not how capitalism works.

Alex Fischer is the guy who slipped this money in on the Columbus side. He went to college at Tennessee, and is the former deputy governor of Tennessee. But I'm sure that's just a coincidence. If any one of us had come up with a business idea to build an athletic facility in Columbus he'd have totally offered us $5M of taxpayer money to pay for it too.
