I don't think it's about benefiting existing participants in the sport...
I always assumed that stuff like that was more of a marketing tool and tourism angle - which I could see it benefiting the state in that way.

Elitist? I can't afford 1500/month. I scrape to pay 1268 PITI for a 1200 sq. ft. "manufactured home" on 5 acres, bought in 1984 when such was still affordable.

California, Oregon and Washington do not have official State Dogs.

However, two of those states have official Marine Mammals.

Rodeo seems to be the most popular official state sport. In Colorado it's "Pack Burro Racing".

Jerseyland doesn't have one yet. I think it should be Pizza.
