Billionaire Falcons Owner Arthur Blank Wants The Government To Do More About The Wealth Gap
Blank said he believes the government should be doing more to combat growing income inequality, a sign that he may not find too much common ground with the political party currently governing the country. And he went on to make this difference even clearer when he gave his opinion on another issue, diversity: Also, during the interview, Blank spoke on the contentious 2016 presidential election’s effects on the steep ratings drop suffered by the Falcons’ fellow Atlanta sports team, the Hawks, in the NBA, saying the outrageous distractions offered by the election were considered to be a contributing factor: For his own part, he has taken steps as an NFL team owner to make games more affordable, such as his recent initiative to cut down the often outrageous prices of concessions at the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta – so it would seem that to some extent, at least, his position on income inequality isn’t all talk.
