I'm ready for the end of professional sports (as it is now). They're all a bunch of arrogant bastards. EVERYONE - Boycott professional sports!! Don't you have something better to do than sit on your ass in front of the TV for 20 hours a week watching a bunch of sweaty men handle balls of one kind or another? It's the only way that things will change. If we keep pumping money into it, they'll keep thinking it's acceptable.

That sentence could have been thought out a little better.

As a kid growing up in the late 40's and early 50's, I agree. "WHEN IT WAS A GAME"........is lost and gone forever. Curt Flood's sacrifice made millionaires out of 250 hitters and pitchers with an era over 5.00 but there must be some middle ground between the spoiled rotten children playing sports today and the under contract players owned by the TEAM they played for.

Personally I believe NO GUARENTEED contracts, single year only with EVERYONE from Jordon in Basketball to Barry Bonds in baseball having to WIN their position every year, that is the way it used to be and IMHO still should remain.
