There is no question that sports are a big part of American culture. Almost anyone that you speak with has a favorite team in some kind of sport. These beloved sports are not cheap, however.

I saw him imagine all of the things he could do with the money. It was a lot to win but also a lot to lose. Could he afford to give away all of his savings? How would that conversation with his wife go? A sharp crack cut the silence, his

THE “MEDIAN DONOR” MODEL: HOW BIG MONEY CORRUPTS THE “MEDIAN VOTER” MODEL In this two-page paper, I challenge the “median voter model” advanced by Anthony Downs’s An Economic Theory of Democracy.

These factors support a completely different theory:
