Interesting note from the Guardian in reference to the Super Bowl http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/feb/04/super-bowl-san-francisco-homeless-residents.

Protest against efforts to oust homeless people from ‘Super Bowl City’ highlights tensions days before city hosts one of the largest sporting events in the world. Hundreds of protesters were gathered on the sidewalk across from San Francisco’s temporary Super Bowl City around 4.30pm on Wednesday, when a few organizers began assembling tents.
Within minutes, hundreds of police officers in riot gear surrounded the crowd and ordered them to take down the tents or risk having them confiscated.

“You have one minute to disassemble the tents,” a police captain announced over a loudspeaker.

Residents and many elected officials have reacted with outrage to the news that San Francisco will foot the bill for nearly $5m in costs to host the week of festivities that precede the big game.

That information, which came by way of a government budget analysis that dryly noted that the NFL’s 2013 revenues of $9.2bn exceed San Francisco’s total annual budget, added insult to injury for residents of the city already feeling inconvenienced and alienated by an expensive, star-studded spectacle that is increasing traffic, disrupting public transportation and shutting down streets.

“They’re going to have to leave,” the mayor said then, referring to the homeless people who hang out along the Embarcadero, where Super Bowl City has been erected.
===========================================================================

Now there are people who view the homeless as panhandlers. Perhaps the biggest panhandlers and Welfare Recipients in the USA are the NFL (Non-Profit) and the owners of Professional Football teams who have received billions in tax dollars to build them stadiums, etc. However, we cannot call the NFL a manifestation of Crony-Capitalism, and Corporate Welfare so gross that it defies logic here in the USA.

Marie was long gone from Indianapolis when Beurt SerVaas teamed up with Bart Peterson to hand control of the water utility to Veolia. SerVaas had no problem with NiSource buying the water utility, stripping it of its most valuable assets and then selling it to the city at an inflated price. SerVaas said at the time it was critical to buy the water utility to keep it from falling into foreign ownership. Yet he had no problem turning it over to Veolia to operate under a one-sided agreement that screwed ratepayers. Go figure.
