Happy Independence Day, American listeners!
Professional sports in America has become a racket. Taking advantage of patriotic sentiment and our civic duty to be sports fans, corporations have seized the commanding heights of the sports economy to squeeze Americans when they're at their most vulnerable. In turn, Americans simply tolerate it.
Ticket prices are up 300%—but wages aren’t.
Beers for $15. Hot dogs for $9. Parking for $50.
Billionaire owners, private equity firms, taxpayer-funded stadiums.
America needs a sports fan union. Americans need to band together to boycott, pressure, and negotiate when prices go too high, when workers aren't well-compensated, or when politics kills the vibe.
