I also cringe whenever I think of the ludicrous amount of my tax dollars that NYC gave away to the Yankees (one of the richest sports teams ever) and the Mets to rebuild their stadiums.
Side note, today I found out the Yankees don’t have names on their uniforms, only numbers. Apparently this used to be the tradition in all of sports until about the 60’s. Absolutely mind-blowing that I never noticed this, and it made me like the Yankees a little bit more and appreciate their (to some extent) humility.
