@Peter_Bukowski Relatively speaking, the US has prioritized women's sports for decades, whereas the rest of the world hasn't. The developed world (Europe, Japan, etc) has caught up, though.
@IvanOvalle19 NJ is a very poorly run state, and none of this is going to happen. Unless, of course, the right people are receiving kickbacks. Then, it'll happen, but at higher cost and with less quantity being built.
@dlondonwortel Maybe. Newark was on par with Manhattan up until the 1950s-60s, and Manhattanutes would regularly visit. Unfortunately, it's never recovered since the race riots in the late 60s.
@JamesSurowiecki There's a good civic argument, if you believe in power dynamics. On virtually all matters (culturally, economically, etc) urban centers, and the people that live there, have more power than those in rural areas. The electoral college is one counterweight to this imbalance.
@SenSchumer Smart move by Sherrill, tbh. Incentivize spectators to stay in NJ, or extract extract revenue from them if they do want to stay and spend money in NYC. It makes sense that NY politicians would fight this.
