ERASING THE GAP BETWEEN PRIVILEGE AND PLAY
Americans say youth sports deserves public funding.
More than half of U.S. adults (52%) say such support for sports would have the most impact at the youth and school sports levels, according to a survey commissioned by the Commission on the State of U.S. Olympics and Paralympics. Far fewer adults identified the Olympics (14%), Paralympic Games (7%), college sports (6%) and professional leagues (5%) as deserving of taxpayer support (State of Play 2023 report).
