I have been frustrated for years that politicians have been taxing overburdened citizens to support multi-million dollar professional sports. It is time to stop subsidizing special interest groups’ arenas and other areas of the sports businesses.
The only way Americans should help sports is support through high school. Then sports enterprises should be on their own. Let those people interested in sports be the ones supporting them.
