Let's Get Started.....

Answer the following questions in your Science Journal!

5/9/2022 Sports Science

1.) What is your favorite professional sports team?

2.) Would you be willing to help pay for a new stadium for them? Why / Why not?

3.) Would you be willing to force others to help pay for a new stadium for them? Why / Why not?

Go to your Google Classroom and complete the assignment "The Science of Super Bowl Welfare"

Complete this sheet while watching the video. You can use it as you complete the quiz!!!

Discussion and Analysis:

1. If a city wants to have a sports team, shouldn’t the taxpayers pay for its stadium? What does it even mean that “a city wants a team”? Does everyone in the city necessarily want the team?

2. What about stores and fast food restaurants…. Is government supposed to provide each business with an office, warehouse, or storefront? Should sports teams be different? Why / Why not?

3. Why don’t team owners build their own stadiums? Are taxpayer subsidies more of a bribe to get team owners to move to or stay in a city? Who is doing the bribing? Why?
