NFL Asking Players To Help Finance LA Stadium Unfair To Oakland #Raiders - Video
NFL Asking Players To Help Finance LA Stadium Unfair To Oakland The National Football League has asked the Players Union to help finance a stadium in Los Angeles. That speaks volumes for where this process really is and how it's designed: 1) First, it means the LA Stadiums, as they are currently financially planned, can't be paid for without an extra financing source, and even with two teams playing in them. I'm personally skeptical that personal seat licenses can pay for the stadiums down there in LA at anything over a $150 million level; Carmen Policy says their research implies the opposite, but I have not seen what they've done. 2) Second, the NFL's Players Union plan is not fair to Oakland, or San Diego, or St. Louis, the host cities for the Raiders, Chargers, and Rams. They're being asked to jump through hoops, only to learn that the playing field is stacked against them by the very NFL they're negotiating with. That's not a "good faith" effort. California Governor Jerry Brown should stop ignoring this issue and get involved - his cities are involved in a game they can't win unless they spend money. I have created a plan that calls for no public money at all and the Raiders have not responded as they said they would, yet keep asking Oakland to put in public money. That is wrong. 3) Third, the NFL has made it clear that it, and not the Raiders, Chargers, and Rams, is running this matter o putting a team in LA. Under the NFL's grand plan, each team asks its city to jump through financial hoops to retain their teams - then the NFL raises the hoops higher and higher. Meanwhile, it does everything it can to make a stadium in LA feasible and thereby increase the chance the Raiders, Chargers, and Rams, will leave their cities. All of this is wrong. The NFL must be made to work in good faith with Oakland and San Diego and St. Louis - offer the same players union financing as for the LA situation, or don't offer it at all.
