 There is clearly a lot of civic pride that is associated with a sports team. People love their sports. People are crazy about their sports. You know, in the same way that, you know, we will make an argument that there ought to be public funding for the arts, that you can't just reduce it to dollars and cents. I think you can make a similar argument for sports that, yeah, the dollars and the cents aren't great, but there's more to it than that.
