More and more businesses have signs, emails and posts saying they are going to be closed today. Should it just be declared a national holiday?

    I think there are two components to this. The first use the sport itself, and I believe they are a net positive both socially and financially. They second is public money used to fund stadiums. That I have a huge issue with. No public funds should be used to fund stadiums.

      Stadiums are used for more than just one teams events. People even used one stadium to survive a natural disaster in recent history. It’s a complicated arrangement but the net positive is worth the sports teams getting what appears to be sweetheart deals.
