Once again, government shows that it's pockets are completely unlimited. The city of Greensboro, NC just gave over a million dollars -- to professional golf. I guess the professional golf circuit just doesn't have enough money.

Oh, but they'll tell you it was "just in case" the sponsors cannot be found to support the tournament. Apparently the Greensboro council is too insulated from the real world to understand how things work. I've worked on campaigns to obtain sponsors for sporting events before.

Once the "goal" amount of sponsors has been reached, there's not much effort put into obtaining more. Sure, some will be obtained, but you don't try real hard. Well, the city has just ensured that the goal has been met -- so why bother trying to obtain sponsors? They won't.

So, citizens of Greensboro, you have just volunteered to give huge piles of cash to professional sports players. I'm glad you have so much money to waste -- now NO ONE in Greensboro has the right to complain about professional sports salaries -- it's your damn fault.
