Default I think a far better return would be

educating our youths for THEIR future and our country with increased salaries for teachers, instead the first thing to go, our teachers....It doesn't make any sense!

It's not a question of importance it's a question of how much revenue a person can produce. A baseball player may make $12 million a year but if a surgeon tried to make that kind of money, he'd go out of business and people would simply die.

The $12 million a year comes from a small amount of money from millions of people watching every game.

When a city builds an elaborate sports complex it's because they expect there to be a financial return. That return should actually help them to keep teachers on the payroll.
