      I know really that high school sports is a fairly good thing to spend money on compared to where most US spending goes, but it’s still frustrating to see a monument to giving children concussions be built instead of public housing or any number of better uses

          But ultimately why should the money for textbooks and teachers come out of sports? We can do both. $60M is not that much compared to military and other wasteful spending the US does.

          But if the school has $60M to do something with, a football stadium is the wrong choice.
