Hi Americans! Brit here.
I kinda follow the NFL (a bit hard with timezones and work and stuff, but I try), and one of the things that surprises me the most is the team relocations (i.e. the Raiders moving to Las Vegas). What surprises me even more is that most of these relocations are because the city government won't pay for a new stadium, so the owners move to a city where their government *will* pay for one.
This would never, ever fly in England. Clubs pay for their own stadiums and would be laughed out of the room if they ever suggested that taxpayers pay for it.
So why does it happen in the US? Why can't these billionaire owners pay for their own stadiums? I can't imagine fans and taxpayers are too happy about it?
