"This is why I no longer watch professional sports."

I gave up many years ago when I lived in Atlanta and followed the braves. They had a player named Bob Horner that came straight from college (did not play in the minors)He hurt his finger not long after arriving in Atlanta and refused to play. Later he was sent to the minors and refused to go.
No professional team has gotten one penny from me since then.
I do enjoy college football; however this Cam Newton situation may cause me to give up on sports altogether.

Doesn’t take much to get you riled up.

College sports are pretty corrupt, too. Just like the former Soviet block olympic athletes, they are often professionals masquerading as amateurs.
