Govt Funded Sports - Big Mistake

I think this guy is correct: Chicogoans should hope that their city loses its Olympic bid. Something about sports makes people act irrationally, starting with people refering to the local teams as if they themselves belong to the team. "We won!" No, *you* didn't win. The poeople who won are those millionare players who don't care about you and who only play in your city because the owner there agreed to pay them more than the owners in other cities. And, by the way, the owners can afford to pay those guys more because *you* agreed to pay some of the owner's operating costs with your tax dollars.

And don't get me started on the irrational actions of schools caused by our collective interested in spectator sports.
