He'll pay for it. It will cost him millions when it comes down to contract talks. Jared Allen did a bunch of stupid shit early in his career and the Chiefs traded him away to my Minnesota Vikes. He's easily been the most popular player on the team since and a stand up good guy to boot. Don't think this won't cost Miller money....it will. No one will want to sign him to a long term contract after this

Who gives a shit about some overpaid wannabe gang banger.

Fire his ass. And move on to what is important.

How is he a wanna be gang banger?

I've never understood the hang up on how much athletes make. I'm not paying them.

Well, if you lived in the Stadium District for the 11 years between Jan 1, 2001 and Dec 31, 2011, you bought them a nice place to make their money. tax dollars should not go to this.

Football Stadium District Sales Tax Expires Dec. 31

Posted: November 22, 2011
Beginning January 1, taxpayers will no longer pay the one-tenth of one percent Football District sales/use tax. The Metropolitan Football Stadium District (FD) tax will end on December 31, 2011 as planned in the law that established the tax.

Taxpayers should not pay this tax after December 31 and businesses should not collect the tax after December 31. The Football District has generally the same geographic boundaries as the Denver area’s Regional Transportation District (RTD). For more information regarding RTD and FD boundaries, please see the DR 1002.

Exceptions
Leases that are still in effect after December 31 may be subject to the Football Stadium District (FD) tax through the life of the contract. Businesses should use the form DR 0200, Colorado Baseball/Football District – Supplement to report the FD tax collected through leases. The same form should be used to report the Baseball Stadium District (BD) tax still being collected on leases entered into before January 1, 2001 that are still in effect.

The RTD and the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (CD) taxes remain in effect in the Denver area. The RTD tax rate is 1% (one percent) and the CD tax rate is 0.1% (one-tenth of a percent) for a total Denver metropolitan special district tax of 1.1%.

Tax Collected in Error
If a business collects the FD tax in error after Dec. 31, 2011 and does not provide a refund to the customer, the tax should be reported on the form DR 0200 supplement. The customer may file a DR 0137 Claim for Refund.

History
The Metropolitan Football Stadium District tax went into effect January 1, 2001 to help fund construction of Invesco Field at Mile High, now known as Sports Authority at Mile High. The sales tax replaced the Denver Metropolitan Major League Baseball Stadium District (BD) Tax

Paying for a stadium and paying a players salary are not the same thing. Unless you go to the games or buy merch, the average person has nothing to do with a players salary.

I wish tax payers paid for my overhead.

[RMAC757]

ok, you didnt pay his salary. you payed for his office, you payed for his lunch room, you payed for his gym membership , you payed for all the things that he uses the stadium for. you facilitated his getting a salary. without the stadium, which you provided he couldnt have made his salary.


its like this.

you buy a whore house on east colfax.
you dont actually pay the whores, but if it wasnt for you they couldnt turn their tricks and make money. (then use the money to be criminals like this pos)

Everything is subject to 6 degrees of separation. If the city hadn't worked out a deal for the stadium, he would be getting paid somewhere else. Using your analogy I also paid for every building in my district which was given a tax break to set up shop. I'm not a fan at all of tax payer money going to fund the multi-billion dollar NFL and their stadiums, but I do watch every Sunday. When schools are 20 years old we don't shut them down. That being said, we don't pay their salaries, so I could care less what they make. The stadium is built....that money is spent. When the Broncos sign a free agent our taxes don't up. Whenever I hear a conservative saying "They make too much" I shake my head. Isn't this the purest form of supply and demand?

[funkymonkey1111]

cut him loose from the NFL because of a traffic ticket and a failure to appear for a traffic ticket? that's about the most stupid crap i've read on this board in a good while.

[JM Ver. 2.0]

And the stadiums bring in how many millions in tax revenue from not only professional sports, but also concerts.....

Would you rather pay more in taxes to make up for the money lost if we didn't have that?

Quit your bitching.
