[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 109331"] Amen, Pierre Berbitzier for teh win! :bana: Also, I do not agree that what the SH embraced was professionalism. What they did come up with was an interesting and ingenious mix of capitalism and amateur command & control from the center with the emphasis firmly placed on the National side. Like it or not, [i]true[/i] professionalism is what you see currently in the English Premier League in fagball, where the decisions firmly lie with independent, privately owned clubs who's number one objective is to turn over a profit for their shareholders by getting their team to the best possible position for the investment put in. Professionalism means that your sport has now been privatised and is now a private business, a going concern that can be traded on the stock markets and can be bought and sold. What you see in the SH is not professionalism in my eyes. [/QUOTE]
