Les Grobstein is another Dave Zirin where he meshes incredible politics and sports talk into a daily incredible sports show overnights in the Chicago region that draws like a.001 in ratings due to the incredible analytical thought and dialogue on this sports political program. les recently hailed how much progress and improvement downtown Indianapolis has got over the years as Les travels through his sports job and sees thousands of free sporting events through the years.
Les grobstein though ignores the issue and inequality that he has a leftist progressive radio sports host should know that corporations direct into an area. Downtown Indianapolis is much better than the rest of the outer boroughs because of the sports industrial complex and the success that sports owners and their friends are able to get in the form of tax breaks for an area and this is something the sports complex has down well in beefing up the community around Lucus Oil stadium and downtown Indianapolis. Les Grobstein has been blessed with an easy gig to talk and memorize about the ghosts of sports past but he should realize that the economic nightmares of the sport industrial complex creates massive diversions of resources and improvements for a narrow area of entertainment valley while the rest of a city gets the liquor stores and all of the gas stations resulting in lower-incomes and property values for residents of areas that will never be described as trendy or glitzy. Indianapolis is only able to improve its downtown because rich people feel sports are important and want to create these easy access areas of exclusivity and entertainment where property values will skyrocket and only they can afford and enjoy. This is no accident and has always been a deliberate plan of speculators and real estate monarchs through the years and for the sorts socialist and political specialized pundit in Les Grobstein not to realize this was really shocking.
