Not at all.. I played basketball in grade school. I always played baseball and still play softball on occasion. I played roller hockey in middle school. We won regionals twice and came in second at nationals the year we went. I was always good at sports, but when high school rolled around I liked making money. I didn't play any sports in high school at all.
I think for some people, hearing sports players gripe about their pay is what turns them off. These guys get paid millions of dollars a year to play a sport they love, or so they say. It's just kind of insulting to people who make less than $100,000 a year busting their asses at jobs they don't like all that much. I know that I personally find it hard to get behind sports with all their BS politics and whiners.
