One thing that drives a lot of us crazy is that we pay for the opportunity to play the games these guys do. None of us, I'm sure, pay for the opportunity to pretend we are Ross Gellar, nor did we grow up practicing to be Ross Gellar or dream of being Ross Gellar and have Ross Gellar wallpaper and we didn't play Ross Gellar with our friends in the back alley.
Personally, I don't begrudge the players their money. Hell, the NFLers should probably make more money.
If the Flames could be a solid franchise under a system in which Mike Commodore get paid 130 million dollars a year then I'd still cheer for the team. But since that can't happen, I will begrudge the fact that they refuse to play a game for 40 times the average salary a regular Canadian makes not playing a game.
