I
have an alternative to those in the movement afoot to, um, what's the
word... oh yes! extort money from the professional Philly sports teams
to pay for School District of Philadelphia sports programs. It is setting up a false dichotomy that if the mean corporate heads of the
Phillies, Eagles, 76ers, and Flyers don't succumb to this shakedown the
implication is that they somehow don't support the innocent District
children who want to play sports. The alternative to this notion that the less fortunate are somehow entitled
to other people's honestly earned money would be to set up a non-profit
fund and those who wanted to do so could, instead of spending their own
money to buy tickets, tees, memorabilia, etc would donate the cost of
the tickets, etc into the Student Sports Fund. Get your own skin in the
game! Since the Phillies stink this year, I might even donate the cost
of a couple of tickets to such a fund. If they start to compete though,
fugeddaboutit.
