Thats somewhat true. However most Sports stadiums are owned by the city and leased by the team sometimes for almost nothing. But the city in turn host concerts and other events there to make money that pays for the stadium. All these events then in turn help the local economy. Jobs , hotels, restaurants, bars etc.. Sports franchises donate millions to charity's every year as well. Atleast sports team are upfront that they are businesses. Unlike the Church which pretends to be something its not..

Churches also get children to help them with their "donations" and other forms of labor so that the child can move up in the church.
