Billionaires have found one more way to fleece the public: sports stadiums.

And if we don’t play ball, they’ll take our favorite teams away.

This kind of billionaire hardball is why State Farm Stadium, home of this year's Super Bowl, was built in the first place.

Billionaire sports owner playbook:

1) Buy a team

2) Demand public money to build a stadium they could afford on their own

3) Threaten to move the team if they don’t get what they want

Just another example of how billionaires use taxpayer dollars to subsidize themselves.

@rbreich You must be following the years-long effort by Oakland A's owner John Fisher to do just that
