Hey, please leave money out of climbing (joking, there ain't any worth talking about yet, unless you do Honnold stuff and that's mostly due to NatGeo and North Face's money and Jimmy Chin's propagation of him and himself).
But seriously, I truly wish serious money would be left out of sports. Yes I know pros need that to train (and buy their yachts/ferraris in certain fields), but I would be extremely happy to see sports being performed on lower level just like first olympics were, but done by people out of pure passion for it, not chasing sponsors / desperately trying to get views. It just degrades whole idea.
Thus I completely ignore all major sports since once you look at it via that sort of lens, you can't go back and its a sad sight anytime. I know I am a minority with this, but hey its way more interesting to stay out of sheepish crowds anyway.
