should new jersey fund their own sports team?

Question

professional sports teams: pros and cons

Answer 1

There are a lot of pros to having a sports team. It brings a lot of revenue to the city(in this case "the state"). It also gives the city(state) something to cheer for, something to unify the people. Furthermore, it will offer some opportunities for more athletes, since it would open up positions that need to be filled. It could also push youth in the area, younger kids through college, to play the sport and give them something to aspire to. Basically, you would probably see an increase in athletic activity among citizens, especifically in that sport. On top of that, there will be new merchandise to sell, including uniforms and other products with the team's logo.
Unfortunately, this is all very costly. You have to build a new stadium, find a manager, find players, sign those players, get scouts, hire people to work at the stadium, transportation costs, equipment costs. BUT, I think over time the positives will definitely outweigh these negatives.

Answer 2

Well it is in the rules, they should have been given the tech, but then the opposing player shooting the free throws should have missed them on purpose. Same thing kinda happened in one of my high schools game. A kids dad got into a car accident and was in the hospital an hour before game. His dad told him to go to the game since he would be ok, he got to the game late and went out into the court, but that was a tech since he wasn't dressed at beginning of game. The other players knew what happened with his dad and said they refused to shoot the tech shots, but the refs forced him so he tossed the ball into the stands for his shot. That was even our rivals that did that. That's what the girl should've done. If they wanted to wear pink they shoudve worn pink shoe laces, pink wrapping around ankles, pink head bands, and anything else possible to wear. They should also have gotten approval first.
