I don't think going to places such as Japan means the talent pool is shallow. I think it's just another revenue source for the big machine to capitalize on. I will agree to a certain extent that alot of players are probably just in it for the money and are lazy. There's alot that really do love the game though and they are in it to win. Maybe they are harder to pick out .. I don't know.
How exactly are the owners/teams treating the fans like shit? These guys go out there and play banged up and travel and are away from their familys.. for what? To entertain us? To win? I guess it depends on the player.. but I'm not going to be so selfish as to expect a person who is just like me with a crazy schedule to just entertain me.
