Summary

This quote highlights two significant factors that have revolutionized professional sports: television-generated revenue and players seeking their rights as free agents through legal processes. The advent of television brought in massive amounts of money into the sports industry, transforming it into a lucrative business.

Together, these developments have had a transformative impact on the structure and economics of professional sports.

Do let him read the papers. But not while you accusingly tip

Do let him read the papers. But not while you accusingly tiptoe around the room, or perch much like a silent bird of prey on the edge of your most uncomfortable chair. (He will read them anyway, and he should read them, so let him choose his own good time.) Don't make a big exit. Just go. But kiss him quickly, before you go, otherwise he might think you are angry; he is used to suspecting he is doing something wrong.

If he were to make a discovery to the contrary, he would be simply stunned would never recover himself, most likely, except to gasp and die.

From the poetry of Lord Byron they drew a system of ethics compounded of misanthropy and voluptuousness--a system in which the two great commandments were to hate your neighbor and to love your neighbor's wife.
