I know Jim and he deserves some sympathy and compassion for the substance use disorder he battles. 3rd or 4th richest guy in the state and it’s not enough to stop the difficulties he faces. I hope people don’t pile on blame and ridicule for his problems just because he inherited the team and they get city/ state subsidies with which you may not agree. That has nothing to do with his problems.
For the record, he may have inherited the Hoosier Dome from his Father’s actions, but not Lucas Oil Stadium. He threatened (although not sure how serious – probably a co-op plan orchestrated by him and the City of Indy) to leave so we/taxpayers/bond holders built him Lucas Oil Stadium. Out of those negotiations came a very sweet deal on concessions, gate proceeds, etc.l… so sweet it was full of cavities. For the record, I applaud his efforts relating to mental illness and I have never judged him for his issues with addiction. I wish him much luck.
