Link to September 6 Indianapolis Star letter to the editor, "Paying the high costs of socialized pro sports".
Excerpt: Please explain to me why socialized medicine is so evil, but socialized sports are perfectly acceptable in a free market.
Politicians are so enamored of the wealthy sports franchise owners that they are willing to sacrifice the future of our city to placate these whiny billionaires. Within a stone's throw of the opulent stadiums, we have neighborhoods that are threatened with library closures, high crime, crumbling infrastructure and a host of other ills that plague a community that does not value education and neighborhoods.
