For God's Sake!

Will someone please tell today's spoiled, self-absorbed athletes that it's only a game?  It's not as if they are striving to eradicate disease, and yet sports seems more important. (This goes for the fans, too, especially the ones who loot and riot even if their team wins!)  I guess the old saying that "it's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game" has become extinct in today's society.
