CHRIS OGNIBEN was seen kissing Large Marge and telling us:

 CO> the game.
That's not really true. Players of the past played the game because for many 
of them, it was the only way that they could make a living without having to 
resort to staying on the farm or working in the mines. It has always been 
conducted as a business and the only way that "loyalty" was instilled in the 
player was the fact that he was at the mercy of the owner and couldn't jump 
to another team UNLESS a new league started. When that happened, players 
either jumped as fast as they could or the owners upped their salaries to 
keep them "loyal" to the team. When the league folded, salaries were rolled 
back to reflect the lack of competition for the players' talents.
