You must be pretty young lazs.
Money wasn't always the end all be all of existence.
People played professional sports for the competition
and most of all, because of their love for the game.
Take professional baseball for example.
Those guys barely got paid enough to live on in
the 20's and 30's but they loved that game.
Thats what attracted them to it. Not the money.
Things have gone down the toilet the more and
more we introduce money into competitive sports.
Strikes, exhorbitant ticket prices, etc. What a shame
it is that all people want to look at is how much
pecuniary gain there is in everything.
Remember the line "the thrill of victory, the agony
of defeat"? Thats why I play AH. I like to win.
And when I do...I get my payoff.
