I think that paid attendance for all major events sports, music, racing whatever are a very slick way to launder money. So who knows how many people where actually there?
Professional sports are as real as professional wrestling. Real athleticism, real possibility of being hurt, but they have fixed outcomes determined by the league.
why are tax dollars being given at all?
This.
States should not be giving tax dollars to millionaire athletes and billionaire owners.
Can you name any business that doesn't create revenue or provide jobs? What makes ball sports worthy of separate, nonequal tax treatment?

exactly
Those stadiums they build, funded by taxpayers and not the league or teams.
better question
Pro sports are a great way to pacify people while you steal their freedoms.
Wow Texas is giving Florida a run for its money! Two great States.
Personally I think Abbott doesn’t want DeSantis stealing all the glory(?). DeSantis is THE Man.
Abbott is a poser shill RINO
But the next Dem governor could just as easily say if you don't kneel and play the black anthem then you don't get tax dollars.
We have to stop handing out tax dollars to sports teams and big corporations of all types.
This is how the gov't controls things they don't have authority to control. The feds do it to the states. The states do it to private business.
Needs to stop.
I would have much rather he deny the money completely and begin charging exorbitant rent etc to these for profit businesses.
Fuck em.
The idea of forcing a mandate of smrespecting the country is a totalitarian move. I don’t like that.
Never force patriotism
Abbott is not there just yet. Still only has lemons for balls, not to the grapefruit stage yet.
Proof that pro sports stars are government employees.
Why the fuck are they giving our tax dollars to a multibillion dollar industry of people playing games that don't provide anything for the people?
So they're taking your money and telling you that you can't go watch a game unless you take a vax?
What they provide is distraction and pacification/bread&circus.
What a joke!
Anthem or no anthem why are you stealing citizens money to give to multi millionaires
If they do not want to play the National Anthem, they can go to Chyna (hell).
