Sports: How Valuable Are Professional Sports Programs and Winning for Cities?

Most recently the Pittsburgh Penguins won the NHL Championship and the Cleveland Cavaliers won the NBA Championship, after the city has been without a major professional championship since 1962 (Cleveland Browns). Hundreds of thousands and even millions of people poured into their city streets to celebrate and rejoice in their respective town’s Championship win, but has this really changed anything for anyone of any significance?

Do sports serve as a national distraction from our real lives and problems?!? All of our society’s “REAL LIFE” problems still exist! So what has winning a “Championship” really done for a city or society/cultures at all?!? I noticed that right after the Penguins won the 2016 Stanley Cup the majority of the NHL society/culture immediately shifted its global attention/focus on to NEXT season, and who will try to win it next season, and we still within a week of the current cup!

Racism is a perpetual problem for our society that is normally transcended when sports is the common denominator. But is it simply being masked by a temporary emotional placebo (sports)?

Was Ayesha Curry “wrong/out of pocket” for tweeting that the NBA playoffs were “RIGGED”? Was it hypocritical? Should she have taken a queue from Stephen A Smith?

Are small and less integrated and cultured cities more or less racist than bigger markets, with larger minority populations?
