[QUOTE="Bowerman, post: 247942"] Every sport eventually becomes about the money. But, it comes down to the players being all about the money or not. Just look at the Olympics, it used to be about showcasing amateur athletes, now countries are paying their athletes outrageous sums of money to bring home gold. Even the hosting areas jump in on the olympic economics, for example, this was on the news a week back (lets call the hotel, Hotel A), the cost of hotel A at current is $150, when the 2010 olympics come, the price of hotel A will be $2250. Whether this is healthy or not for rugby, is yet to be determined and rests solely with the players. Our world, does not revolve around the sun, it revolves around the dollar sign. [/QUOTE]
