The point is that people have been making those exact same complaints for over a century. It's not like the "good old days" were perfect.

Not according to some people.

 

And lost in the "loyalty to the team" complaints is that the teams aren't loyal to the players.

What book does it say that the players were not loyal to a certain team from back in the "old days"? There isnt one, because there was loyalty back years ago, you hear it all the time on sports channels how loyal the players used to be to teams!

I'm pretty sure Al Spalding had a few of those. And I know what you hear all the time on the sports channels. People always think things like that were better when they were younger.
