Ok, let's subsidize the sport. (insert tongue in cheek) Let's see.. probably should start with government, because when it comes to subsidizing, nobody's better. Ok, well, government already does, with the big tax breaks and low or no interest loans to the teams. Then there's the fans. We're essentially the ones holding the bag for the government subsidies. Also, we do pay quite a bit for tickets, and when bad beer costs 5-6 bucks that's _got_ to be a subsidy of some sort. Then there's the owners. Well, if you believe them their already subsidizing things significantly. Who's left? Oh yes, the players.Wisent said:Because sport can be an inspriation.
