the sanctity of the game is a joke. it always been a joke. baseball, football, soccer, basketball, golf, tennis, even sumo wrestling, sanctity of those sports has gone out the window when money gets involved.

sumo has. if a wrestler needs 1 more win to be promoted, he bribes the other wrestler to let him win. common knowledge in sumo wrestling.

Enjoyment of sports stops at high school when you might know the kids and they are playing for their home town. After that, it’s a suckers’ game for your fan dollars and I refuse to be the loser.
