From an actual article:
The projected cost of the arena will be a minimum of $900 million. Thunder ownership has committed to contribute $50 million.
The city’s news release cited a study that estimated the Thunder’s annual economic impact at $600 million with 3,000 jobs created.
If the taxpayers go through with this they’re moronic cunt monkeys.
Fast-forward five years: They’re moronic cunt monkeys.

In general I think using public funds for private spaces is awful.
But the math changes quite a bit when you compare a football stadium that gets used maybe a couple dozen times a year, and a mixed-use hockey/basketball/lacrosse/concert/etc arena that is consistently booked.
