but have you ever asked yourself if your sport, your past time, a recreation, deserves hundreds of millions of water?

https://www.sltrib.com/news/environment/2022/07/15/with-great-salt-lake-peril-are/#:~:text=In 2019%2C the county reported,to support about 10%2C750 Utahns.

“In 2019, the county reported 659 million total gallons used between its six courses. That figured jumped to 827.7 million in 2020, then sank back down again to 663 million gallons in 2021. That’s enough water to support about 10,750 Utahns.”

edit: Love the downvoter who can’t speak up in response…

Nope. I live where it rains 9-12 months out of the year. There is no shortage of water here.

And the historic racism and classism doesn’t bother you either, obviously.

Dude, all of history is plagued with racism and classism. We live in a more equal time now than ever before. So no, I’m not going to boycott an activity that brings me happiness because of the past. Besides, the places I go aren’t racist or classist, so it would be counterproductive to boycott businesses that are progressive just because some other businesses in the past weren’t.
