White collar leaf raking in sports rights debate
George F. Will criticizes Ralph Nader and the FANS group for pushing a bill of rights for sports fans. He portrays FANS as a detached consumerist lobby that inflates concerns, seeks control over team operations, and mirrors white collar leaf-raking, while fans mostly want affordable tickets and a winning home team. The piece links expanding government and public interest lobbies to trivialize sports culture.
