Dallas Adult Entertainment: Only Journalists Whine About NY Super Bowl
Greg Cote of the Miami Herald, under the headline “NFL Goes insane With Super Bowl in New Jersey,’’ grumbled “The League should be arrested for prostitution because, in effect, the NFL has broken its own rules on mild-climate cities to reward the Jets and Giants for building a $1.6 billion stadium.’’
Houston was rewarded with a Super Bowl for building a new stadium. Rules about mild-climate cities? Detroit has had two Super Bowls; Minnesota, the frozen north had one. Those games were indoors, but for that first time in Detroit, XVI, the winning 49ers had to stomp through snowdrifts just to get to the Pontiac Silverdome.
The owners, who voted for New York, merely were supporting the free-spending decision of their pals in charge of the Giants and Jets to erect a new facility.
That’s not prostitution. That’s billion-dollar back-scratching.
