Kansas City lawmaker Jason Holsman must like his Sundays anger-filled.
Yesterday, the Democratic state rep introduced H.B. 1986, which would make pro sports teams and franchises that blackout games (like the Kansas City Chiefs) ineligible to receive taxpayer dollars a year later.
Holsman told KSHB Channel 41 that taxpayers should get to watch the teams they subsidize with their tax dollars.
The NFL blacked
out one Chiefs game last season after failing to sell out Arrowhead
72 hours before kickoff. The black out extended to a 75-mile radius of
the metro.
This ought to make KCTV 5 really happy -- and ensure
future frustrating Sundays for Chiefs fans.
