    Believe it or not, sports are played outside of taxpayer-funded stadiums and many of them don’t even charge you money to watch.

      Are you saying the commercialization of sports is the problem? What’s up with the nuanced take, I want easy to digest answers like “sports = bad” /s

        I’m not all that into sports myself, but I worked a job doing TV news camera work for a while and people seemed way more into a high school football or basketball games than they are at bigger events. Maybe because they’re not all getting drunk?

          They pay a lot more for the bigger events, but they have no connection to the people on the field. Its a bit different when your kid is playing.
