There was a time that I felt the same as you. As the years passed, my view shifted: Thank goodness for stadiums and sports franchises. Where would all those particular assholes (and I&#x27;m not saying all, or even the majority of sports fans are assholes) congregate if it weren&#x27;t for sports bars and stadiums? The price we pay is definitely inflated, but I&#x27;ve come to appreciate the societal separation it provides.
