Opinions have perhaps never been any louder on the proposed Milwaukee Bucks arena than they have been in the past few days, but there are signs that we now could be closer to seeing a positive resolution than we have ever been before.
It was only Sunday night when John Oliver of HBO’s “Last Week Tonight” went on a stirring, if albeit at times slightly sensationalist and misguided, rant about America’s culture of providing public funding for sports arenas.
He briefly honed in on Milwaukee, and the Bucks, in a more specific sense too in a piece of press that couldn’t have felt much more poorly timed to the organization or arena supporters.
