CEDAR CITY, Utah -- Some get into the professionals for the fame, some for the love of the game and others strictly for the fortune. My biggest concern is how they get to these that affects the integrity of the game. I personally love players that perform day in and day out because that is their passion and everything else in secondary. The problem with professional sports today is the use of illegal performing enhancing drugs. We have these athletes that take these drug in order to run faster, jump higher, hit harder.
Players are being more focused on their personal brand and acting like they're bigger then the team itself. When players are offered a big contract it seems as their performances go down. Once they signed the big check, they seem to coast through the rest of their careers.
Then of course we have the athletes who play the game till the very end with passion, influence the game off the field. These players like Lebron James for example have the mental ability and confidence to maintain at top level and let money affect how they play or when they play. If Kevin Durant were to take a minor pay cut to his current contract he wouldn't be sitting out to get more money he would still want to win that championship.
Currently we have players that are sitting out of the NFL because they want a lot of money, yeah maybe they deserve it but if they really loved playing the game they physically shouldn't be able to stay away for so long.
