Dolphin’s owner Stephen Ross reflected on his stadium funding loss, “We could have gone ‘21st century’ and had self-flushing commodes, but now, nada! I’m not even refilling the toilet paper in the restrooms. Let them use the programs.”
On the way from his mega yacht docked at his palatial mansion to his private jet, billionaire Stephen Ross chided the Florida Legislature for not even bringing the issue to a vote, “Just see if they even get a free seat in the ‘nosebleed’ section now.
Hey, there are 89 other people who are richer than me right here in the United States. Don’t think I’m so well off. They call me a ‘multibillionaire’ but doesn’t ‘multi’ mean ‘more than five?’ I’ve only got 4.4 billion.
The paint can fade, the turf can die and I’m calling it ‘Joe Robbie’ again.
It wasn’t just for my bottom line, but I wanted the next big super bowl to take place right here to boost the community and, who knows, possibly a couple of ordinary citizens may win the 2 remaining available tickets for the game.
