I perceive there to be GREAT LOYALTY in sports...
Loyalty to the city in which a team plays, as long as it provides a new stadium, championships and
other entertainment value, with good parking and upscale accommodations around them...
Loyalty to the fans in the cities in which teams play, as long as they will pay always more in ticket
prices...
Loyalty to the neighborhood venders around the stadium, as long as they are "upscale enough"...
Loyalty to the team one plays with, as long as one gets enough spotlight, kudos, trophies and pay...
Loyalty to the players, as long as there is not a better "deal" out there...
Loyalty to the team one roots for, as long as they are winning...
Loyalty to the game one loves to play, as long as it pays exorbitantly...
Loyalty to the game one loves to watch, as long as it entertains, even if it means maiming the
players...
Loyalty as long as one's greed, desire for prestige and lust for power...
There is a GREAT DEAL OF LOYALTY in sports... to all the wrong things.
Football, Baseball, Basketball, Hockey and now Soccer are big business in entertainment. Any "higher virtues" in these professional sports have gone the way of the affordable bleacher seats.
