People are kind of like this with the Vikings. I'm still pissed MN is going to spend an assload on some stupid stadium they didn't need because they threatened to leave.

People go crazy over them! Mr. Kuus has one relative who drives a jeep with a big old Steelers flag (FLAG, ffs, as though that stupid football team is its own country!) flown on the top like he's driving some sort of redneck Pittsburgh pirate ship, and he's perpetually irate that he can't go in parking garages because their ceilings are inconsiderately too low to accommodate his flag.

Our city is goddamned BANKRUPT because we caved to pressure and built new arenas for both the Steelers and the Pirates before we'd even paid off the last stadium we built to house them. The people of Pittsburgh voted against building the new arenas. Twice. They raised our taxes and did it anyway, and while those stupid teams get their sweetheart deals where they contribute nothing in the way of property tax or enough rental to cover the building use, the city is so bankrupt that we can't even pay our firefighters and police their pensions.
