Excuse me but isn’t this a GAME? IMHO professional sports is an oxymoron. Like professional wrestling it’s entertainment not sports. Want sports? Go watch a Little League game.

I think the point is that it used to be both — it was entertainment AND a legitimate sport.

Not at this level. It is an industry.

Yes, go watch a Little League game where the sport is pure: there, the coaches have absolutely no egos and there are no political shenanigans either on the field or in the boardroom.
