My point is sports itself has been taken over by moneyed interest and that will not change. But I remember a time when I talked my son in Little League into going to a game against the undefeated team when his team hadn't won at all. He went for the "sportsmanship" of it. It was the moral thing to do. Sports is now big business. I understand that. Its just sad for me.
