The issue with modern sports is that sports are no longer games, its business and one that, from its three largest US leagues (NFL, MLB AND NBA), made an excess of twenty-five Billion dollars last year. Now all that young athletes think about is their future, scholarships and beyond, and is it there fault? No. Their parents? Only partly. It's societies. It is society that pressures young people into over specifing into one sports, instead of just having fun and enjoying their childhood. I fondly remember looking back at my childhood and think of the numerous basketball games, wrestling matches and numerous games we made up as kids and I don't think any other generation, both due to society and technology, will have a similar experience.
