NFL star: make owners pay for stadiums

Good morning.

Richard Sherman, football player, talked politics on the radio last week.

Concerning fiscal woes in government, the Seattle Seahawks star offered a solution you never hear about from anyone in the sports biz.

I’d stop spending billions of taxpayer dollars on stadiums and probably get us out of debt and maybe make the billionaires who actually benefit from the stadiums pay for them. That kind of seems like a system that would work for me.

My take: Sherman's comment will prompt a touchdown celebration from San Diego's Not One Dime Crowd (even the folks who don't know what a touchdown is).
