Word on the Street:
What do you think is the biggest problem with sports today?

Steve, 25: "…pro sports, it would be the economics of the sports have created advantages for certain teams not related to the mental and physical abilities of their organizations."
Charles, 26: "Our society makes every effort to reward student-athletes for the work they put in on the field but none for the work they put in in the classroom… [there’s also] no loyalty left among most athletes.
Sara, 27: "I think professional sports have gotten too far away from the idea of a game. Games are fun, they're entertaining. Professional sports are big business now, and I think that's a shame"
Allie, 27: "The emphasis on salary and marketing benefits of professional athletes."
Courtney, 25: "The biggest problem is the influence of commercialism. I think it's taken a lot away from the "spirit of the game."
Steve, 28: "Lack of tradition is what is killing sports at all levels."
Charles, 24: "[The biggest problem is] the lack of a playoff system in college football."
