Your statement regarding the Jacksonville Jaguars is incorrect:
"Jacksonville politicians gave up the city's right to collect 25 percent of the revenue for naming rights of the city owned football stadium to the National Football League's Jaguars or about $4 million over the next five years.
Some of that four million dollars could have been used to pay municipal workers to keep social and needed services going. Instead Jacksonville Jaguars ownership can spend the $800,000 or so annually on players."
The $4 million that the city of Jacksonville is foregoing could not have gone to anything other than stadium upkeep. It is explained in this article from the Florida Times-Union.
