Food for thought.

I don't believe my logic is flawed.
We taxpayers bore the brunt of construction costs for both the Reds' and Bengals' facilities. (What the Bengals paid towards their stadium was about the amount of overruns from the no-doubt-deliberately-understated projections. The Reds ownership did somewhat better percentagewise.)
As to the part about out-of-towners, I never said they couldn't also use "us", "we", etc. They just need to make that case for themselves...
And before I forget, play ball!
