Sports fan lobbyist fights NFL blackouts, taxpayer-funded stadiums, and Comcast
David Goodfriend aims to terrify billionaires, end public subsidies for sports.

“A community will have access to a flying robot even though it will not have access to clean water, or security, or be able to keep its girls in school.”
This may sound absurd, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be the future we live."
