That's always enraged me. The politicians who approve those subsidies should all be jailed.
The other thing that makes me furious is that both MLB and the NHL have been awarded exemptions from anti-trust statutes which has enabled them to own and operate minor league teams and even leagues as if they're nothing but a branch/subsidiary of the major league team. Leagues such as the International League, the Pacific Coast League, American Hockey Heague, etc. should function independently of the major leagues.
