<p>[QUOTE=&quot;baseball21, post: 8405857, member: 76863&quot;]When people say stuff like this is one of my pet peeves.&nbsp; If you do anything besides medical research/medicine or food, shelter, or water related it’s literally by definition a waste of money that could have been helping humanity instead if it’s not directly related to sustaining life.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The vast majority of sports owners in the USA now aren’t doing it as an egotistical toy, they’re doing it to make money.&nbsp; Pro sports teams in the major sports are highly profitable besides the Phoenix Coyotes and the league just subsidizes their losses. Even the ones where it is their toy like Jerry Jones are still making tons of money off their toy.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Also aside from the joy sports bring to people, the number of kids they’ve kept off the streets giving them something to do etc the organizations are a massive business that provides countless people employment far beyond just the athletes.&nbsp; So no the billions spent on sports is not wasted in anyway[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
