Why Cowboys' Fans Are Laughing All The Way To Giants' Fans Banks
Are you ready for some.. free-money? With 15 minutes until the NFL season opens this evening, we thought this little gem from Bloomberg was perfect to stoke the fires of Giants-Cowboys fanatic antagonism. That’s because the 80,000-seat Cowboys Stadium was built partly using tax-free borrowing. The resulting subsidy comes out of the pockets of every American taxpayer, including Giants' fans. The money doesn’t go directly to the Cowboys’ billionaire owner Jerry Jones. Rather, it lowers the cost of financing, giving his team the highest revenue in the NFL and making it the league’s most-valuable franchise. "It’s part of the corruption of the federal tax system, subsidizing activity that the private sector can finance on its own." This is not just the Cowboys but such tax-free public borrowing 'municipal' debt helped build structures used by 64 major-league teams, including baseball, hockey and basketball. As Bloomberg concludes, “You come back to this thin line of, ‘What is a legitimate municipal government undertaking?’ If the owner can get away with the public putting up part of the money, he’s going to do it.”
...of course there are legitimate uses of taxpayer funds... (cue gratuitous Cowboys cheerleader image)

It's in the Constitution ... somewhere between the "Necessary and Proper" clause and the "Good & Plenty" clause.
I mean ... check her out man! It's the American way!
This is a subset of "Necessary and Proper"
Called bread and circus.
how 'bout dem cowboys.....
I took em' +4
so far so good...
That is my favorite cheer.
Flexibility is a virtue.
There are a lot of people on this forum who say things to the effect of America can't do anything right. I have photographic proof that that is not (entirely) true.
Not a single reverse cowgirl joke? Must be rectified
The joke ingredients are: cowboys, reverse cowgirls, brokeback mountain, broke, mounted, financial markets
Be thankful this wasn't a story about the Detroit Lions getting a bailout....
Cowboys Stadium nosebleed seats $150-$500. Descent seats cost $500+ per ticket. In order to get a close up of my favorite cheer, with the aid of binoculars, will be looking at spending $2,000+ for two tickets.
Pre-game dinner and concessions for two $100-$200.
Parking $50-$70.
I'm staying home.
You cannot be serious!?! Understand, I have no interest in sports; in fact, I haven't even owned a television since 1984, so there's a lot about popular culture (especially sports) that I really know little if anything about, but I simply cannot imagine that a ticket to an NFL game costs $150 and up. Are you serious? And fifty bucks for parking!?!
That can't be right. Playoff games? Superbowl? Not just a regular game?
to bad their cheerleader has so much fattrims... aren't those supposed to be skinney?
If that would be my wife, I'd tell here to go easy on the food for a while.
I came here for the photo, not the article.
she had me at her crouch crotch.
Camel toe, beaches!
What I'd do to her would make a Goat puke!
There was an article?
Finally an image on ZH that provides a clear entry point!
I found that picture really easy to masturbate to.
I would pick peanuts out of ____ with my teeth just to lick her _______.
whoa how did you edit me out of that pic??? i was laying down and was quite comfortable..
DAMNIT THAT'S A PIC OF MY GIRLFRIEND!!! I SHOULD TELL HER TO SUE ZH FOR USING IT ON HERE!!!! But I would likely end up as part of the trial then my wife would find out.......
Don't they have something called "squat toilets" in Japan?
Yes ... and they're unisex!
http://www.wikihow.com/Use-a-Squat-Toilet
The pic makes it too difficult to read the text, not that I am complaining. I say long live plenty of gratuitous images!
Oh yeah!
I only came here to read the article ;-)
///////////////
Still reading...

Confirmed...there's some growth there.
the palm palms are definitely fake,imo.
Go Giants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never got past the photo......
I'm not sure that is an actual dance move
Yes it is. It's called the 10 dollar lapdance move
Fuk the "Cowpies and that Jackass (Jerry Jones), that they rode in on! Americas Team < puking...
OT but I found a video that I think Best illustrates the fed reserve board steering the economy. Ben is obviously the bald guy driving. Bottom Video

Thank god she had some implants to help break her fall.
Next time a little more bouncy and a little less side-to-side rocky.
Dallas Does Taxpayer!
Like the people (dozens of families) that had their houses condemed and given 50 cents on the dollar so their houses could be bulldozed and made into extra parking for Jerryworld? Nothing like using eminent domain to take private property and give it to another private citizen.
Obviously, those were the same people that voted for Obama expecting hope and change.
Funny contrast to the Gina Rinehart article/comments!
Shut up you guys. I'll bet her daddy loves her.
Among others.........
Fug the Giants and their milquetoast zit-faced queer Eli. Hey, tyler, can we get a closeup of that sweeeeeet gash?
So we've now heard from the four-year-old contingent of ZH.
Fellow adults, it's our turn.
Mixing private money with public funds. Hmm. Now what do we call that, boys and girls?
That's right. It's fascism.
And, now that we've heard from the three-year-old contingent, anyone ready to go full infantile?
I named my wife's boobs Binky and Mrs. Nesbitt
:>D
And I named them... whoops, not suppose to let you know about that.
Public Private Partnerships, loved by both parties, gotta go. They'll squeal like piglets, but we have to claim our guaranteed republican form of government.
In Nashville, the Mayor promised they'd bring a Super Bowl to the new stadium they funded for Bud Adams...who got it for free and doesn't even live in the state!
Anyone for a Trip to Nashville in February?
Cheerleaders in hot pants and down parkas?
Anyone?
Got a bigger pic of her? Oh, and interesting article, or something.
Damn! She's hot. There are no hotter cheerleaders -never have been-never will. I would sure like a taste of heaven. Looking at this babe-I've seen it. Looking is just not good enough.
Save your money, you can get even hotter whores for $10,000 a night.
And your guaranteed at least a hand job.
Well then, they should be able to afford some new outfits for their cheerleaders. The one shown in the picture is obviously too small.
hey, at least Dallas has good cheerleaders. In Cleveland we have a crap team, and even worse cheerleaders--like NONE.
Squaterrific!
Please dont let Willy B. and his god given Adobe PS talents near her. She is perfect as is.
I say cut her tits off and stuff an extra large tube sock into her shorts and we'll have the neo-NFL.
I can't wait till the boys of autumn start wearing pink again.
Save the Ta-Ta's.
What's this 'football'?
Isn't it hazardous to your health?
hopefully those game worn shorts will be on ebay
: any of several games played between two teams on a usually rectangular field having goalposts or goals at each end and whose object is to get the ball over a goal line, into a goal, or between goalposts by running, passing, or kicking: as
Libs will kill feetball in 2 yrs, cuz it will take Romski 3 yrs to clear the Communists/faggots out of the bureaucracy.
o.k., back to work.

puts the fannies in the seats, lowest common denominator.

they always play the federal anthem in those stadiums,
is that in the contract?
Join the Moron Party!
Vote OBlameO.
"I don't understand the question."
G W Bush got rich that way, so why can't Jerry Jones do the same?
I'd come up for air after about 3 days....
What is this article about?
What is this article about?
another waste of tax-payer's money.... did you even read the bloomberg article?
You didn't build that stadium.
Great piece TD.
Eminent Domain also applies.... ;)
What an incredibly glorious picture
With all the excitement over a squatting female...
I remind healthy males everywhere:
these "arrangements" between
the power-and-wealth-and-control-hungry and
the enabling-sycophants and
the generally-distracted-and-at-least-ignorant-enough taxpayers
are coming to an end,
and do notice that the parties involved in these transactions still don't care much,
but most of all,
do not fear the outcome,
because I can guarantee you there will still be squatting hot females
all the way down
on our trip to whatever abyss we ultimately find ourselves.
Turns out Texas is a perfect habitat for beavers. Too bad the EPA does not know that.
We properly criticize the misallocation of capital in China, with empty malls, apartment buildings and whole cities. Then we, albeit on a smaller scale, encourage our cities to 'hold on to their team' by spending on a building that is empty much of the time.
When the Rams left L.A., there was the weeping and gnashing of teeth, but the unemployemnt rate went down and exonomic conditions improved after the Rams left. This is not to suggest a correlation between a team moving out and prosperity, only that there is no correlation between having a team and general economic improvement.
This is old news, nobody gives a shit. The cost of maintaining these facilities costs more over time than the initial costs of construction. All of the costs of maintainance and light bills, etc. are all carried by taxpayers. Guess who the bondholders(of the municipal debt generated by these rackets) are?
Same thing with healthcare, just more of it and possibly even more the sacred cow.
When you see how much of the private sector is actually public sector is when you begin to fear inflation and laugh at dimwitted deflationists.
Bread alone will not keep the populace pacified... you gotta have the 'circuses' as well - you need full out spectacles thaat serve to distract and channel the peon's sense of purpose, ways for him to live vicariously through others and root for 'his' team of gladiators...... better to have a poor underemployed prole sitting on a couch rooting for HIS team than out marching in the streets demanding that the financial criminals be brought to justice.....
The cost of providing such distractions for the masses is downright cheap and well worth the cost.
raiderNation!
and i am very fond of women who root for daBears
even if they just turned 22!
Hey Honey,Eat a fuckin donut.
the snatch makes everyone feel better about being royally screwed right?
I am sorry but would not the logic follow that Met Life (Giants and Jets), Barclays (Nets), Citi Field (MupMETS) and Yankee Stadium all were built with sweaty palm coin from Cowboys fans?
And the Supine Court says they can take your house, farm, business, land, homestead to build it just to increase tax revenues.
The Cowboys pinnacle the diagram in both crime and protection using their team labor and given aptitude. They can with no trouble wear down their competitor, score amazing touchdowns and their protection is also extraordinary. You will never knowledge NFL as it’s most excellent if you haven't see the Cowboys play live. You can buy online tickets use tixyam.com.
cheap cowboys tickets

That pose is unladylike.
Now, back to the crashing dollar!
That's what the "great" city of Dallas gets as payback for killing the last President of the U.S.
This one gets 5 stars and then some for the photo alone !
Follow these steps to gain vast fortunes:
#1. You bribe a politician to privatize an industry that was nationalized (generally a monopoly). You pay the government pennies on the dollar.
#2. You keep the business for as long as it’s profitable. Raise prices, fire employees, neglect the infrastructure, suck it dry from every penny, and bury the business in debt.
#3. You bribe a politician to nationalize your business. Have the government pay you a grotesquely inflated price.
#4. Have the taxpayers pay to rebuild the business and pay off debts.
#5. Go back to point #1 and PROFIT!
What? No porn links???
When the Louboutin shoes finally arrived, I was so happy to see that it looked just like the pix in the description. Christian Louboutin Outlet make them your new-season staple and wear with Christian Louboutin from mini skirts to skinny jeans.
