Sport sold out

AS a sportsman who has been involved in many sporting activities, I was appalled that the Australian XI sold out their green and gold national colours to a non-patriotic commercial enterprise.
I always played for enjoyment and fun before the almighty dollar was king.
Do these petulant overpaid professionals enjoy their games as much as I did or others did in the ’20s?
Don Moyes,
Berwick.
