Problem #1 is that taxes paid by residents in general shouldn't subsidize sports. Tourism taxes, sure. Special tax districts near the stadium, sure. Parking fees and ticket surcharges, yes and yes. But sales tax? No. Income tax? No. City or countywide property taxes? No and hell no. Indianapolis paid some of the costs of their two stadiums ethically, but a lot of the money just came out of the state and local treasury. No bueno. Jacksonville does the same thing, of course, and tried to steal the colts in 1984 too. This is on us too. So, if one city is already going beyond what a city should ethically do, trying to steal a team, I think we shouldn't complain when the other city also violates norms of ethical behavior and tries to use eminent domain. That said, it's a non-starter because the league gets to vote on changes of ownership and would never approve a government as a team owner. So the city would basically get a franchise that's not allowed to compete.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
