> No remorse for imitators, my crew be innovators
Paying homage as well as returning favors
Learning flavors from the path pavers
Now Ozomatli be makin new hits from past data take it..
> I speak the truth rather courageously
And I act rather contagiously
When the stage is free, the rage in me is contained
Now the got me..

The Super Bowl and the Super Rich: Partners in Slime

The number of U.S. billionaires — only 13 in the first Forbes 400 count in 1982 — jumped to 66 in 1990 and 298 in 2000 and then all the way up to 404 in 2010 and 614 in 2020. All these billionaires desperately needed new high-profile playthings. Many found them in NFL franchises. In quick order, teams that had been selling in the tens of millions began going for hundreds of millions and then billions. In 2018, the hedge funder David Tepper spent $2.2 of those billions buying the Carolina Panthers. Four years later, Robson Walton, an heir to the Walmart fortune, led an ownership group that shelled out $4.65 billion to take possession of the Denver Broncos.
