"The day the cut the football budget... that will be the end of western civilization as we know it". It sadly is so true. People apparently could care less about art and music, but have no problem watching people tackle each other and getting injured. But all they ever talk about is money. If an instrument is properly taken care of, it can last for a couple of decades, but that's too "expensive". But the insurance they pay fore a football player is just fine. 😒
