Money has always been a part of professional athletics, but it’s worth asking how this new infusion of cash is warping how we interact with sports.
Players, fans, investors and leagues are all participants in a kind of grand experiment in what adding billions of dollars does to America’s great pastimes. And to think, we still call it a game.”
