This. Kids playing sandlot ball doesn't harm anyone. Greedy billionaire who thinks owning a major league team adds inches to his dick and the asshole politician who offers him taxpayer dollars for a money sink are the problem.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Hockey is just as dumb as any other testosterone driven sport.

This is exceedingly stupid when you consider that as of 2011 the Detroit public school district was $327 million dollars in debt, and the solution offered was to close half the schools, sending the average classroom size to 60 children. I'm not sure if that solution was ever implemented, but I'm sure the debt remains.
Plus,
the owner of the Red Wings not only owns the Tigers, also, he is the multi-billiionare founder of Little Caesars Pizza. He's the last guy that needs a handout.
One thing to keep in mind, however, is Detroit was not simply decimated by an economy that hit a recession nearly a decade before the rest of the country and a failing automotive industry. It was also destroyed by corrupt politicians like
this guy. It seems highly likely that that type of corruption played a part in this deal.
