Good news. Keep writing.

What if, like the separation of church and state, there was a separation of sports and money? All contracts, minus reasonable living expenses, were escrowed until the pro retired?

What if all sports were played by amateurs only? Bobby Jones and Francis Ouimet were lifelong amateurs in golf.

What if golf pros had to put down big personal bets every round? (cf. Leon Crump from Charlotte, NC. I have a book signed by him called Drive for Show, Putt for Dough and he added to his signature when I asked him for advice: Play for a lot). He certainly did and beat many pros.

Professional sports are a business, and amateur sports are a game. 

Businesses is not fun, games are.

If I ever get a tattoo, it will say: Play like a kid.
