RE: Grandpa Gotta Eat—Food And Sports

Hey, @thebigsweed.

Does seem like a bit much to play a game, doesn't it?

I've never really had an issue with the money. There are very few people who can do what they do, at the level they do it, and inevitably, there's some kind of injury or sudden decline in abilities, or some other thing that derails them.

Money does seem to change things, though. It's less about playing for the love of the game and for each other, at least it seems like that. I don't know if I'd rather they went back to the days where they got paid hardly anything, though. Maybe somewhere in the middle would be good.

However, as long as people are willing to pay ticket prices, or to watch the games somehow, and those that advertise get something in return for their thousands if not millions of dollars, the whole thing continues on.

Meanwhile, we have the issues throughout society that we continue to have, too, and other professions are paid considerably less that are seemingly much more important. I know I could live without professional sports. Doctors, firemen, police officers—take your pick—it's good to have a few of them around at least. :)
