When will people realize all these events are to only benefit the show holder? The prize pool never comes close to the entry fees and sponsor fees. It's almost a way for middle aged men/women to play the "professional athlete" role for the weekend, then go back to their grind. Selling the dream of being a pro athlete...traveling, getting a $5 sponsor from a $2 website, hiring a "coach", talking about being weeks out and your sacrifice...it's all a fun charade.
Competition is good, but save it for real pro athletes. You didn't make the nba or NFL...now let it go. Putting on a thong and comparing cycles with other guys has never appealed to me. It always seems like most are out to prove what they couldn't in an actual sport with skill and at the age that mattered.
Even a dart league would be more impressive.
