Tax should be spent in the prioritizing of public funds for the greater good of society instead of go sports team go subsidization of billionaires.
And yes, a national system like this would cost more than $2b. More likely a couple trillion over a few decades. But we need to start somewhere and get our priorities straight.
This type of thing really shows American priorities. We talk a big game about freedom and all sorts of ridiculous platitudes while expending our resources on frivolous bullshit while letting Americans literally starve, go without education, medical care, or homes. And this isn't just pro sports. Google the new Hebron High School athletic facility in Texas. It's fucking lunacy. And no, I'm not against high school athletics. But i do think they could easily have afforded a good new facility while also doing something worthwhile.
