Indeed Chris..... I think what you guys call them IS BETTER!!
I used to watch alot of Sport until I found out they get PAID!!!
All along I thought it was like a hobby and they did it for fun..... When I found out they only do it for $$$$$$ I lost respect.....
I used to love Rounders and some rugby (Football) and hockey.... (I love hockey) it just doesnt seem the same to me knowing they are getting $$$$$$$$ to do this...... (It would mean more if they really wanted to do it (Not getting paid))
