Reply to comment by User_Name13 in Philadelphia spends money on anti-violence efforts. It must invest in making sure they work. | Editorial by User_Name13

Also, with all due respect to the sport. Is teaching kids to fist fight each other exactly the best recourse to stopping violence.

I know, I know, if they just fought they wouldn’t have to shoot each other, that’s more naive than what I’m saying. People lose fights and still use guns.

All in all anyone with half a brain knew exactly what would happen with this money. I just hope the “I’d rather pay more taxes for better things” crowd is paying attention. The city has always and will always light money on fire

Ya you'd think directing that energy into a more traditional sport like football, basketball, basketball, soccer, etc, would be a better idea.
