Kohl was great, these new dudes not so much. It'll make you not want to support the bucks if you read how much money they robbed from Milwaukee.They do it because it's free money for the billionaires. The new owners of the Milwaukee Bucks just did Milwaukee dirty with their new stadium deal. We had half-season tickets of the Bucks growing up, and I was there when they were relatively good. I also saw the Bulls 70th win in Milwaukee... After reading about the proposed (and then approved) stadium deal, I really didn't care if they stayed or not. It really makes me angry that these stadiums are being financed by public money.
Fact of the matter is if you don't pay up there's another city waiting in line that will. In Milwaukee's case we more than likely never get a professional basketball team again. Ever. Kohl, Lasry, Edens could have put the entire burden on the public and dipped with the team but instead spent 250 million out of their own pocket to build the arena and did alot to keep the team here. It's kinda lame the way it works but the city of Milwaukee w/ the Bucks >>> city of Miwaukee w/o the Bucks.

I love the bucks, and they are the only reason I am interested in the NBA. I don't think they should be helping billionaires with public money.
