And let's be 100% clear on something- these guys are entertainers. Sports is entertainment. They contribute absolutely nothing vital to society, other then to keep us relaxed and distracted/happy. For that, they make millions.

When they cease to entertain, they become, frankly, worthless to me.

So they're not humans?

Every bit as human as a European team handball player. Do you care one bit about them?

I wish them no ill, but once they no longer fulfill any meaningful service to me, they become ... irrelevant. That's not an unusual concept.

Again, I mentioned boxing. There was once a time Muhammad Ali was probably one of the most recognizable people in the world, and it was when he still fought. These days, I have no idea who's heavyweight champ, and really don't care about that person one way or the other.

When a sport does something to lose it's appeal, you don't find the players antagonistic after awhile, you simply don't care about them at all. They make money because they command attention. When they stop commanding attention, the money goes away.
