but the Walmart/Walton gang has bought every Pro sports team here in Denver, with the exception of the Rockies, and no one would want them. The Waltons are buying up Pro teams in other cities in the nation.........

They have no problem screwing their employees, but have SIX AND A HALF BILLION TO RECENTLY BUY THE BRONCOS.
(They already own the NBA Denver Nuggets, and the Colorado Avalanche, and either the professional Lacrosse or soccer team here in Denver......)

The simple reality, which no one realizes about the Professional and College Sports teams is that:
All the box seats and most of the seats in the sections down near the playing area......ARE ALL BOUGHT, FOR THE MOST PART, BY CORPORATIONS. AND ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE AS TRAVEL AND ENTERTAINMENT........The taxes the Corporations DON'T PAY,
We the commoners pay, so in effect the taxpayers are paying for those tickets for the execs and their guests....
And we still pay quite a bit for even the seats in the nose bleed section..........
