Default Re: The Demise of Professional Sports

also, I disagree with your opinion on league contraction

With the growth of the US and the addition and growth of players from around the world, the proportion of professional athletes in the major sports has shrunk.

I also think that today's players are much more talented. Unfortunately, due to many reasons, a compromise has been made where pure fundamentals are not treated as important. Many guys can do some absolutely amazing, never before done, type stuff in most sports, but they are not as good at the basics.
