You want one image that explains why elected officials so often roll over to sports team owners on stadium subsidy demands? Here you go:

(H/t to Shadow of the Stadium.)
Beckham wants the states automatic 2 mil subsidy.
Steven: that’s still $2 million too many, for Becks’ (still non-existent) team, and for every other pro sports team in this state.
It’s $2m a year, and it hasn’t been extended to any Florida soccer teams. Yet.
If these #selfies are anything to go by, at least one team seems almost certain to get it.
