To be fair, all levels of government pour a LOT of money into sports as well.

I'm not sure if you heard, but a year or so ago there was this big thing called the Olympics, where the government put up a lot of money for sports.

Not all ventures are completely self sustaining, and some of them need help.
That's why things like museums, and bobsledding get more government money than some other things like hollywood movies and professional sports.
