My Proposal: The Business of Sports

Sports are over-run by business. This is ruining all that makes sports good.

I propose that:

1. Professional Athletes' pay significantly decrease
2. Stadiums cannot be named after the highest bidder.
3. Advertisement boards cannot be shown within a sport stadium.
4. No Commercials may be played during the Superbowl, and the half time show will consist of a cheerleading routine instead of highly payed singers. It's a sports event, not a concert.



Anyone agree?

The Council of Enn does not feel that this issue falls under UN jurisdiction. An issue might be more appropriate.

I agree with Enn. This seems outside the realm/not worthy of the UN. It's of course important to you, so why not try to write an issue about it. I'm sure there are some threads. What you can do is look at your next issue that comes up, and telegram the nation that submitted it. Ask them how they wrote the issue, and then just do it.

And if the mods reject it once or twice, keep going and listen to their suggestions. My experience has been that they're only in disgusting cave troll mode 1% of the time. and that's usually due to in-laws. All other times they're really quite helpful.

You also might try a post in the Moderation forum, explaining what you want, that you haven't tried it before, and who to ask for further details (if needed).

Good Luck
