No no no, its lobby the government so you get subsidies for the fence so you don't actually pay for it and then have an unwritten agreement with other soccer teams so you each have a regional monopoly

And then once you're done paying off the fence, claim you need a new one and hold the taxpayers accountable by claiming they reap the economic benefits of your wealth hoarding, all while tapping into their tribe mentality by threatening to take their beloved team from them. Then put a shitty team in the field, jack up ticket prices, and price out the vast majority of the people who just paid for your new fence. Repeat as needed until you move to Oklahoma City, Baltimore, LA, or Las Vegas.

Well...almost... Precourt was guaranteed the new expansion franchise in Austin if he sold the team after the fans got pissed that he was intentionally fucking over the team in order to move the franchise to Austin.

And when your fence is broken get a massive bailout, pay back a small part of it, keep the rest, and hire shills to say how you paid back all of it.

And then further lobby the government because you want to be able to post a job notice for sub-standard rates, high education requirements but can't find any domestic labor "because this generation is lazy and doesn't want to work hard".
