You won’t find any sports propositions on the ballot when the state goes to the polls for Saturday’s primary election, but maybe you should.

If some of the leading sports issues of the day were to be put up for public referendum, who knows, maybe voter turnout would improve and some decisions could be expedited.

Sports issues, perhaps, such as some of these.

——-

Proposition A — With the Supreme Court’s decision in May allowing states to choose whether to allow sports gambling, shall Hawaii make betting on professional and college sports events legal here?

Proposition B — If sports betting is legalized in Hawaii, should wagering on contests involving the University of Hawaii and other colleges in the state be exempted?

Proposition C — Should the current 44-year old, 50,000-seat rust-plagued Aloha Stadium be replaced by a 35,000-seat facility on the current property in Halawa that is, in whole or large part, financed by a public-private partnership with ancillary uses of the space?

Proposition D — Shall the athletic contests of all taxpayer-funded institutions in the state, high school and college, that are shown on local TV be made available free to residents?

Proposition E — With the University of Hawaii selling backline advertising space on the teraflex to the California Hotel, shall the naming of the actual court at the Stan Sheriff Center be reserved for Dave Shoji, Riley Wallace, Vince Goo or some combination and acted upon forthwith?

Proposition F — Shall the press box at Aloha Stadium be named for recently-retired Jim Leahey and the press box at Les Murakami Stadium carry the name of Don Robbs?

Proposition G — Shall the state calculate a fair and comprehensive value on what UH athletics means to the state and be required to reflect that with a line item in the budget funds for Manoa and Hilo?

Proposition H — Shall Hawaii remain as, reportedly, the only state where Division I head coaches are required to be members of an employees union?
