Why is it "fine" to make your neighbor pay for a stadium so your team can play in it?
Are you okay with your neighbor using your money to build their church?
I think you misunderstood what I meant, and upon rereading what I wrote, I doubt you were the only one, so let me clarify:
I was saying I'm ok with that mayor's decision to ban tobacco in the stadium, since the stadium is tax payer funded. The mayor has reasonable authority over it since the state government commissioned it.
I do not like that stadiums are tax payer funded. But if they are, I see no reason why the mayor can't say 'no' to certain things within.
Smoking Policies at Major League Baseball Stadiums
Seattle Mariners – Safeco Field
In compliance with the Washington Clean Air Act, Safeco Field is a no smoking facility (including chewing tobacco and electronic cigarettes).
Maybe if they didn't feel the right to spit everywhere or leave a big dip in the urinal it wouldn't be a problem?
Haha this. The spit from chewing tobacco is pretty gross. Now imagine it everywhere on the ground of a concrete structure. Do you really want that for the sake of "freedom?"
There are other places to spit that don't cause as many problems. And if you're a chewing tobacco user, please be considerate and use a bottle or something.
What do abortions have to do with baseball and tabacco?
That progressive liberals have to meddle with and ruin everything. What does tobacco have to do with baseball? Nothing except libs want to tell people what they can and can't do at a ball game they paid for a ticket and taxes they paid to help fund the stadium.

Don't the few that use smokeless tobacco normally spit into a cup? So require that they don't spit on the structure. I know my uncle who chewed tobacco always used a cup. This is just a red herring.
What about snus pouches (Swedish style smokeless tobacco)? You don't even have to spit out the tobacco juice.
Can't say I've ever seen fans chewing tobacco at MLB games - good seats or bleachers. Is it a regional thing?
