[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3100059, member: 24302"] You're right of course. But sports teams provide intangibles that are worth keeping. I knew a die-hard Cardinals fan in Memphis. He traveled regularly to St.Louis to watch them. Might not overcome the stadium cost, but cities like St.Louis identify strongly with their teams. KC loves the Royals and are fanatical about the Chiefs. Sorry that not everyone is a big sports fan or they resent the money they make, but for fans it's not just about the sports but also pride in their city. And that spreads throughout the region. And making it to the championship of any league is a huge bonding moment for any city and it's region. Might be scoffed at by non-believers, but there's more to life than just punching the clock and paying the bills. So let's take away all the stadiums and arenas, get rid of the games on tv, never speak of it again. How dreary would life be? Maybe we could all celebrate the summer solstice! Go marching on May Day! Get all giddy for the next eclipse! Think of the conversations at bars that would produce! [/QUOTE]
