sports socialism and hockey?

Re: sports socialism and hockey?

Across the U.S. multi-million dollar sports venues are being built with taxpayers' money, usually without a vote to obtain the consent of the taxpayers. This practice is not restricted to professional sports stadiums, or even to state colleges.
For example, the dome where Syracuse University (a private university) plays its home basketball and football games was partly financed with taxes through the New York State Dormitory Authority (??!).
Speculation abounds about the addition of hockey programs at DI colleges. Stadiums with hockey rinks cost a whole lot of money to build. The crash of 2008 remains unresolved, and cries for spending cuts and tax cuts resound across our land. Do plans currently exist to build new college hockey arenas with public taxes?

[BTW: The fact that you, like me, are ignorant of any such a plan doesn't mean diddly. Instead of proclaiming your ignorance is proof of the innocence of all college hockey schools [and wannabe college hockey schools] please wait long enough for proof of the contrary to be produced, if such proof exists.

I think you should start posting in the politics threads in the cafe.

Instead of Rover and his pop psychology, bob and red cloud keeping said psychologist employed, and scooby telling us we're all doomed, we can focus on your rambling incoherent posts.
