Durhal: New ordinance kicks tobacco out of Detroit’s sports stadiums

As the proud parent of two young athletes, I’ve watched my kids fall in love with sports and admire the professional athletes who play them. Youth are known to mimic athletes’ moves, their celebrations and, too often, their habits. That’s why ensuring athletes are setting a good example for our youth is so important. When tobacco is tied to sports, as it historically has been in baseball, it sends the wrong message and endangers our kids.
