Business
The American Heritage College Dictionary defines Business as Serious work or endeavor. Sportsmanship- Conduct and attitude viewed as benefiting athletes as fair play. Professionalism- Professional status, methods, character, or standards 2. The use of professional performers as in athletics or in arts. Competition- The act of competing as profit or a prize; rivalry, 2. a contest. Their are several spring football leagues throughout the state of Texas, and the way some of the leagues are conducting themselves their is no cause for it, the slandering of each others leagues. I personally thought that all leagues are suppose to be for the players. I thought that each league was suppose to be all about putting a professional product on the field for the fans to see. I thought that the purpose for this level of football was for the players no matter what league they are playing in to conduct themselves as Professionals, to show Sportsmanship on the field, and to be very Competitive on the field but in a Business like way. But how can we ask these players to do all of the above, when we as owners of teams, leagues, are overseers are not doing what we ask our players to do. Their is no reason why one league should bash another league, regardless of the reason, even if its because one team has left one league to go play in another league, or one team bashing another team for wanting to play in another league, or because a difference of opinions of how a league is being run. The bottom line is we should all be working for common goals. Taking care of our players, making our franchises or leagues the best we possibly can, putting the best product on the field for our fans, and lastly working together to get away from the stereotypes that this type of football has. That this is throw them up tackle football with pads, Knucklehead football,or all those guys do is fight and curse each other out football. This was just to name a few things that this level of football has been called.I am quite sure you can come up with other names. Bottom line at the end of the day, is it worth the bashing? if you answer yes it is, then ask yourself what did you gain from doing this? In the end it all about Business.
