Funding for sports (and the arts) are often the first things facing the chop in difficult times.

Funding for sports (and the arts) are often the first things

Summary

This quote highlights the tendency of prioritizing budget cuts in sports and arts during challenging periods. When facing financial difficulties, governments and organizations often perceive funding for sports and the arts as non-essential or discretionary expenses that can be reduced. This approach reflects the general belief that such areas do not directly contribute to economic growth or societal well-being. However, this narrow perspective often overlooks the broader benefits of sports and arts in terms of physical and mental well-being, community development, and cultural enrichment.
