Sport should be about having 'fun'. At least I always thought it was - heck, that's one reason why I stopped playing rugby for my club - it stopped being fun, it was becoming a chore. I NEVER cared about winning or losing so long as it was a good match. Even watching sport I'd be OK if my side lost (except to a couple of teams) if it was a great match to watch. All the money in sports has a huge amount to answer for, it's no longer right to call things like football, the N(A)FL (I'm British, I refuse to call it anything other than American Football), NBA, MLB, rugby, tennis, etc., sports. They're businesses first and foremost these days, screw the sporting contest so long as they make money. That's why you get people trying to get any advantage they can, legally or illegally (and the illegal is normally only legal because the referee doesn't call it illegal. I referee football matches and get people diving all the time, the wimps. They don't like it when I call them on it).
Put sport back into sport, I say.
