i not saying that auto-racing isn't a very competitive endeavor with intense amounts of training and skill-development involved.
i just place anything that involves the engineering and fabrication of a vehicle (car, motorcycle, bicycle, sailboat, whatever) in a different category from the more conventional field & court team sports that are more pure displays of raw athleticism/skill.
but that's just me. if you wanna call auto-racing a sport the equal of basketball or football, that's fine. i just see them as too different.
anyway, back on topic, the NFL is easily one of the most lucrative professional sports leagues on the planet, and they don't need a single penny of public money to build lavish palaces for themselves.
and the recent poll of arlington heights residents shows that an overwhelming majority of them agree with that assessment.
