I don’t feel any sense of connection with professional athletes.
“I don’t feel any sense of connection with professional athletes.”
Don’t feel bad, they have no connection with you either, just your money. Sport is nothing but money. MLB takes youth from different countries, trains them to play the game, under pays them considering their counterparts, over commercializes their names, then trades them when they can’t supply enough revenue to cover their contracts or want more money to another team so they can start all over with their names being connected as the next Mays, Clemente, Aaron or Ruth. (They got rid of Bonds)
Trust me, it is a business. And it isn’t just MLB. The NFL and NBA solicit thugs to play their game and sell it that way protecting the players to do what they have to to keep up the shams by changing rules to allow things that should never be on a court or field.
The only sport that hasn’t changed to promote the violence that sells is Ice Hockey. They started with goons and never looked back.
