I disagree, Dan. At least in part. True, each match is just a game. But what's the point in trying after you've quit caring? The experience is more than just a game. It is built around and pretends to celebrate professionalism. It should at the very least try to live up to all that means. Professionals get it right!
I'm sure that posts will follow to point out that the credo is Gracious Professionalism, and we must adhere to both. In my opinion, professionalism needs no adjective. It is one ideology. The adjective at best works to dilute the meaning, and worse gets used to hide incompetence.
