I still enjoy the entertainment of the game, but I no longer consider any of them true sport where the best man or best team wins except on rare occasion.

I see the business side, and how it can be (or maybe is) manipulated. Problem for me is that it doesn't matter anymore if it is or not because I understand how it can be manipulated. It is much like home town reffing in HS games, or shaving points by paying off a player in college games. Professional sports are big $$$, and are controlled by big money. (Rules come from the owners, etc). (Players are pawns of the big picture). Money is the real object anymore.

Anymore I can enjoy sports from Jr. High level up -- but all of them are just entertainment to me. I don't get to high over a win, nor to low over a loss.

You sound very cynical.
