I had loyalty to certain teams and the the demands for higher salaries began with Joe Willy Namath. Now all you do is cheer on empty suits. I understand the business aspect and i undertand the short life cycle of ball players but again far too many never live up to expectations. That was a big issue for owners this time around

Whereas with golf or tennis a player is rewarded for truly outstanding play

So I also lost my tastefor the NFL and MLB.
