No VA Tax Money for the new Washington Football Stadium

The Issue

Dan Snyder, owner of the Washington Football Team , does not need to be given any tax dollars for the purpose of building a stadium for his own enrichment.

The Washington Football NFL franchise is a long standing and successful entity in making money for Dan Snyder.   An NFL franchise is not a charity, it's not a "part of the community" and has history has shown time and time again, giving money to large elaborate stadiums from tax payers is not a good investment.

It does not create high paying jobs, does not help the economy and does not provide a good return on the investment.

More so, the Washington Football franchise has shown time and again that it would be an even worse investment than other franchises.   They can't even fill the stadium that they have now.  Not because it's old, not because its hard to get to to, buit because the ownership has spent decades disappointing fans

The product on the field has been among the worst in the league since current ownership has taken part.

They are also currently under a congressional investigation for the labour practices.

As long as Virginia still needs repair to roads bridges and dams, rural internet, and support for people and businesses impacted by the pandemic, a single cent given to a project like this is the wrong choice for Virginia

He has the money , and he is the one who would benefit. Why should my tax dollars go to make a new stadium fr Philly fans to sit in?
