Actually, all four major sports leagues are subsidized due to corporate welfare tax breaks. They are allowed to claim approximately $1 billion in tax breaks against $600 million in expenses. I don't have the article in front of me, but you get the idea - you can verify the level of rape at your liesure mad My favorite muckraking magazine Mother Jones has an entire issue devoted to the world ahead and corporate welfare is one of many topics.
