Because it's "good for the community!" (Pro tip: It's not. Pretty much never.)
"The fact is if you have a big bag of cash, you can use that for essentially whatever you want," said Farkas. "I think at the end of the day, they're going to have to justify why this money has to go straight into the pockets of a privately owned sports team rather than to other needed priorities."
I actually agree with Farkas on this one. What a waste of money.
