2. Sad On All Sides

It is sad that the military felt the need to pay teams to honor the military. However, it is also sad that sports teams took the money. This is another incident that makes me ask do you not already have enough money. The vast majority of sports team owners are billionaires. Why did they not tell the military to keep their money and use it to help veterans and current military personnel? Also, why did these leagues not reject this money and still honor the military?
