It's fun to watch as a fan, but the best team doesn't always win in that scenario. I'll take the turf. As a taxpayer, I'm all for anything that improves the high school experience for young people. If that means the band gets to perform on a 1.5 million turf field instead of the mud, then I'm all in. The reason many people gripe about taxes is because it takes away from things like their $150 North Face jacket when they could buy an off brand for $40 that's probably just as good in quality. God forbid if you can't afford to go out and enjoy dinner for two for $100. Go to Applebee's instead. Sure it's less trendy and you're not going to impress your peers while they are out at St. Elmo's, but at least you'll have more money in your pocket for things that are a bit more important. 1 Quote

Your first sentence leads one way and your second sentence leads the other. You must be an independent. Seriously. I do think there's a correlation between taxes and quality of life. Sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. But I'll never skimp when it comes to our high schools. Professional sports take take a hike. 1 Quote

So federal tax dollars are being used to build high school turf fields? That is news to me. Quote

And even if you did gain a convert, what does it mean? Nothing will change as a result of this behavior on this particular forum. Its kind of like a dog chasing parked cars.... 2 Quote
