Good News: Soccer Team Wants Phoenix Greyhound Park
Good News: Soccer Team Wants Phoenix Greyhound Park
What a brilliant idea. According to this article, “The Monsoon are attempting to work with the city of Phoenix on revitalizing an abandoned greyhound racing facility into a suitable soccer stadium.” (It’s the Pacific Monsoon Soccer team or what I like to refer to them as PMS.) Wouldn’t it be grand if PMS trumps PGP? Yowza! No more greyhounds become sick, lame, injured or die.
Further in the article, it says, “There is another group, Phoenix Pro Soccer, also looking to secure a Divsion 2 franchise for the Phoenix area.”
Bright idea: Why doesn’t the Phoenix Pro Soccer team or another soccer team negotiate with the dog track in South Tucson? Its popularity continues to wane as does its patrons. Through the years, Tucsonans are grown hip to greyhound racing cruelty.
Last year during a fire in the historic tower, there were less patrons than employees on the premises (no dogs or people were injured thankfully). And the fire damage has not been fixed yet. Does South Tucson let other businesses with fire damage continue to be open? What are they waiting for?
Perhaps a soccer team?
It would be good business for the community and family entertainment. Watching dogs race and break their legs and run into the rail is not family entertainment; that’s child abuse AND animal abuse.
