One question to those who are fired up about the CIB – this video seems to speak aansgit the CIB and Indy sports franchises as a whole because they utilize (waste) taxpayer money. I understand that point of view – sports franchizes are private and make private profit, so they should not be supported by taxpayer dollars. OK – let’s take that as true and follow it to its logical conclusion. No taxpayer support would certtainly mean Indy would lose its franchises. We just aren’t profitable enough of a market and private enterprise is private enterprise. The owners will split for greener pastures. Right or wrong – greed or good business that is what will happen (or at least let’s assume that for the rest of this hypothesis). I’ll take a liberty and assume the author of this video and many of those who are opposed to the workings of the CIB may say, so be it – the city gets no benefit from sports franchises and we do not need them (I think the video may even say that directly, but don’t remember – regardless let’s assume this for a second). If that is truly a position supported by those who oppose the CIB, then I ask: Can someone in that camp put themselves in the position of the mayor (generic hypothetical mayor of indianapolis, not any particular mayor)and give me the talking points they would use to respond to the public discontent that I believe would follow us losing the Pacers and Colts? I know they are expensive and I know mistakes and perhpaps misdeeds have been made, but I promise you, people care about their teams. If you doubt it, take a walk through any grocery store on a Colt’s Sunday. You will see folks from 8 months to 80 in a Colt’s jersey. Right or wrong, these teams are part of what bind us as residents of Indy and they generate alot of pride and plain ‘ol entertainment.”The People” will kick and scream like you have never heard aansgit the man or woman who “lost the Colts”. How could, should, or would a mayor respond to that public outcry? What words of comfort could he or she give to ease the anger? How does that mayor fair in the next election? I’m really trying not to be critical and genuinely want to hear your thoughts. To me, this has always been the big, 800 pound elephant of an unanswered question in the CIB/fat cat franchize owner criticism.
