Also, that's not communism. Only someone with minimal knowledge of communism would think it is. In fact, the existence of these tax payer funded stadiums is more communist that this, but we aren't talking about that for some reason.

And everyone else has to subsidize the dried up old hens on The View.
Stadiums are tax payer funded, for some reason, so that's fine with me. Build their own stadium and make their own rules. Would I ban chewing tobacco?
