this is a public servant (ab)using his position to spout ugly things about a competitor in the private sector. Tax dollars from those on the receiving/victim end might be used to insulate him from the consequences of his decision. That's just plain wrong.

Look, I've lived behind the former iron curtain and the current bamboo one, and I don't want to say we're headed towards communism because of this. But it's a sign when we just let government take control, when we a program like utah directly compete with a private institution doing exactly the same things (sports entertainment), and then when those public officials can act with impunity, well, it's not the precedent a free society that's successful because of a free market should be tolerating.

Kill that garbage, useless government program up (utah athletics)
And if you can't do that, at least don't pay the fines for bureaucrats when they get caught abusing their position to be whiny babies about how the private sector beat them.
