John Oliver criticizes publicly funded stadiums [VIDEO]

If I were to wager a guess, I’d assume that the host of HBO’s “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” is not a fan of the deal that Minnesota made with the Vikings in regards to what is now called U.S. Bank Stadium. In fact, the former comedian and “The Daily Show” correspondent spent nearly 20 minutes discussing why stadiums should be entirely privately funded rather than having the city or state where the arena is to be built to foot any of the bill.

That rant happened last night on “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” at the end of the program.
