Those large expenditures for major league sports often generate the big headlines, but a similar rush for minor league sports franchises—known as secondary sports—is occurring on a smaller scale in the Ninth District.
The conventional wisdom that a sports team has significant economic impact is balanced by the reality that most sports-related jobs are seasonal and low-wage, Johnson says, and most spending on sports teams is just a transfer from other entertainment options.
For example, $10 spent on a baseball ticket is not $10 that was created for that event, it is $10 less for the local movie theater; and $20 spent at a restaurant near a stadium is $20 less for one at the other end of town.

Reswick (1994) in a similar study of parks and recreation professionals found that computers were used most for word processing, creating spreadsheets and databases, desktop publishing and project management.

Simply because the NBA, centrally located in the landscape of major sports, successfully rakes in millions of dollars every time it sneezes, while the bottom line for hockey, still grappling for a firm hold on North America’s sporting identity, is scrawled lightly in pencil.
In 1994, a Sports Illustrated cover said the NHL was hot and the NBA was not.
Because the NHL is such a revealing microcosm of the world of sports — with its clashes of national borders, cultures, politics and economics — and because looking at it teaches us a lot about the other major sports in America, this begins a four-part series in this column on the state of the NHL.
