    1. Pretty commonplace for most pro teams/ cities. Despite the city’s subsidy, he didn’t have to give any money to anyone. He was a very kind and generous guy.

  1. Interesting study on what a person fills their idle time with when they are handed an unearned fortune. He does get credit for spreading some of the wealth around and avoiding ridiculous looney left causes.
