Not saying I agree or disagree with your post but a few ideas/comments.

1. While it may not happen as often in football, baseball teams (and especially fans) do complain about how teams have more resources than other teams. A TON of people complain that the Yankees just buy their championships. Recently, I remember reading a story where the Brewers' owner or GM was complaining how they simply cannot sign their own players when the player knows they can sign for a ton of money with other teams.

2. While most professional athletes do play for the love of the game, a significant majority (especially the great ones) play to win. I don't think Brett Favre would spend most of his nights in the Viking's film rooms just because he like to play (he could play without watching film); he does it because he wants to win.

3. Did FIRST start as "a group of people who had a passion for changing the world for a group of high schoolers"? I was like 3 when FIRST started, so I have no idea. Maybe someone who was around back then could chime in.
