Save Our Sports Coalition |
Millions of Americans participate in sports. It is in our national interest to maintain open access to sports and ensure the survival of our sport institutions. Not only will millions of jobs be saved, but we can regain the important physical, social and emotional benefits that are lost to haphazard sports and facility closures and shut-downs. Sports help shape who we are by teaching values like perseverance, determination, fair play, work-ethic and the pursuit of excellence. These values can help our country navigate the current challenges we face by emphasizing that we are all on one team working toward one goal…the safety and betterment of all Americans.
