Are sports organizations taking away from your local communities by being given subsidies? I negate the resolution which states resolved: On balance, public subsidies for professional athletic organizations in the United States do not benefit their local communities. Athletic organizations are any group dealing with athletic departments like the NFL or your local sports associations.

Athletic organizations make more than enough money to pay for their things and ta
