MY COMMENTARY:

Let's stop making people who can put a ball in a hole, hoop, between two vertical posts, or knock over a wooden dowel, anything more than people who are singularly focused on only playing a game. There are much bigger people who toil unnoticed, trying to make the world a better place for mankind. Nike should give a matching gift to what they spend on sports stars, to charity.
