Perhaps the point I made was too obscure -- the nature of DeLaSalle  
is irrelevant to the debate over the stadium, so there's no point in  
arguing about it.  The only meaningful question is whether there's a  
net public benefit, or not.  (With the caveat that the benefit to  
DeLaSalle is not a public benefit).

If DeLaSalle were run by dirt-worshipping pagans, it wouldn't (or  
shouldn't) change how we evaluate the stadium proposal.
