 Sports has effectively become <b>the</b> modern day Religion .  Consider the following:
<ul>
<li> salaries
<li> attendance
<li> TV coverage
<li> advertising
<li> youth programs
<li> commercial products (shirts, hats, cards...)
</ul>
Loyalty?  For one and done players, poor citizens, marginal characters?
<p>
Fight?  For what?  Trophies and big contracts? For people that don`t even know me?
<p>
Jimbo and the players don`t know the fans.  The games mean absolutely nothing in life. Why would I fight for someine who doesn`t know or care about me?
<p>
Not picking on FSU.  The same could be said of any school or arbitrary allegiance we form.
<p>
We have family, friends and neighbors who we should be investing in.  There are real rewards there.
<p>
Sorry, but I am done with hype, superficilialty, corruption and poor citizenship that marks organized sports.
