Stadium relocations are a sore subject for the city of Houston. For those that remember what it was like to lose the Oilers, this piece for John Oliver is absolute must watch.
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver – a terrific show that I highly recommend to anyone who happens to have HBO – did an excellent piece last night on the borderline fraudulent activity of many professional sports teams when it comes to stadium funding practices. While the Texans have yet to show any signs of wanting to leave Houston if and when NRG Stadium becomes "obsolete", old school Houston Oilers fans know all too well what it is like to be held hostage by an owner who threatens relocation.
