Billionaire sports team owners want us to think that investing in stadiums is good for cities. They’re lying — and sports fans are pissed. Now Oakland A’s fans are revolting to stop Nevada from giving their team’s owner John Fisher a $380 million handout, and to fund teacher salaries instead. ----- More Perfect Union’s mission is to build power for working people. Here’s what that means: We report on the real struggles and challenges of the working class from a working-class perspective, and we attempt to connect those problems to potential solutions. We report on the abuses and wrongdoing of corporate power, and we seek to hold accountable the ultra-rich who have too much power over America’s political and economic systems. We're an independent, nonprofit newsroom.
