I'm sorry that I can't be nice about this, but this has got to be the dumbest topic I've seen in a while. It completely overlooks the amount of dedication that it takes to a sport to be able to play it on a professional level. "Love of the game" is a luxury that you only have when you're winning or at least doing well. If you're struggling or not suceeding, it's the worst possible way to spend your time, especially if you're injured.
As someone who spent 12 years competing and has gotten paid for his efforts, this OP sucks.
