Consider the carbon output tens of millions of fans produce driving to games to watch teams who take dozens of flights per season on jets that are environmentally a nightmare. The fans whose love & passion allow pro sports to thrive through all kinds of economic downturns repeatedly pay higher prices for lesser access.

The Mardy Fish/Steph Curry incident is just another hint at the coming gambling iceberg. Should pro sports even exist?
