That and the drunken fans will no longer be stumbling out like the village 
idiots, screaming, puking, getting in fights, etc. The same can go for 
football and basketball and hockey too.

Or they might go get real jobs. If this were to happen, an influx of

See above.

Professional sports should be abolished. The players and their cro-magnon 
fans waste too much of our time and space as is.
