It's a great time to be a sports fan: The NBA playoffs are shaping up, the NHL playoffs are underway, and the baseball season is young enough that followers of every team can still dream about making it to the World Series.
But as Major League Baseball's Washington Nationals—a team that surely is not going to the October Classic any time soon—eases into its brand-spanking-new-and-massively-expensive stadium, reason.tv asks the question: Are publicly financed stadiums and other sports subsidies really worth the cost to taxpayers?

I remember a few years ago the fucking Cards wanted us to pay like 600 Million for a new stadium, I think. Of course, we now have a new stadium in STL, but I sure as fuck hope they didn't use tax dollars for it. If I were the decider, I'd say "Fuck no! Get your own money for a stadium."
