me too though what team he picks may show his desire for lower taxes or may not
I enjoy sports, but sometimes I step back and consider that they are all just meaningless games which consume great amounts of time, money, and energy.
However, if I look at it a different way, I think about sports as essentially a product to be consumed–both as an entertainment product and a product which gives a nondestructive–and hopefully constructive–outlet for competitiveness and aggression in young people. Other entertainment products are, of course, movies and computer games, among other things.
Looking at it that way, it seems to be pretty reasonable. There’s a market for it, it is produced, it is consumed, and the prices are set by supply and demand. There’s some craziness and inefficiencies like in many markets. But at least it makes sense. How can it possibly be worth it to pay someone tens of millions of dollars to throw a ball through a hoop? Well, it makes sense from a supply/demand standpoint.
Maybe we can come up with even better sports…
Oh, and start looking out for the “sports purchase mandate” wherein you are required to buy $1000 of sports tickets each year because being entertained by sports is good for your health and you should go see some events.
I’ve got two things for him to consider as he makes his choice:

Mark Levin said earlier tonight that, given that James is an outspoken Obama supporter, he’ll no doubt choose a high-tax state so he can do his part in redistributing wealth…
oh my he went low tax florida
Color me shocked.
Florida lost Rand and gained Lebron. This was not a good trade for Florida, however beneficial it may have been for Rand.
LeWho???????????
Hey Jeff, we already, as taxpayers, had to pay for midnight basketball for the community’s health. After all, that should be a function of a federal government, no?
At the engineering staff meeting Friday morning, the technical discussion only lasted a few minutes, then for the rest of the hour, the time was spent discussing the Lebron James decision. Nevermind the fact that we were under deadline to get a lot of work out by the COB. I stayed quiet during the meeting, as a good little shopper should, until I was directly asked what I thought. I responded thusly “Welcome to the Roman Coliseum, circa 410AD. Bread and circuses, while outside the barbarians gather.”
