The main point is that professional sports are played first and foremost for entertainment of their fans.

wishful thinking imo. as fans we would like to think this, but i don't think it's true. it would be hard for a league to get by w/o doing this, but i don't believe this is their primary goal. i imagine most professional athletes would rank the fans third next to playing b/c they enjoy it and playing to support themselves.

I'm not talking about the players. I'm talking about the league and the teams. They are businesses. The employees at many companies don't give a damn about how much their customer enjoys their product, but the owners sure as hell do because that's their revenue source. Same with sports.
