Silver Nuggets: Publicly-Funded Stadiums

If you never watch Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, you probably should. Each week he uses his unique brand of humour to discuss topics that normally are not funny, from the death penalty to Miss America Pageants to student debt. However, this column isn't supposed to be an ad for HBO. Rather, it's addressing his latest video, about publicly-funded sports stadiums. Over on the Silver Seven Facebook page, B_T shared an SBN article that examined the John Oliver video.

Oliver argues that stadiums for multi-million sports teams with multi-billion owners shouldn't get public money for stadiums.
