Talk:Shamateurism

"The first Olympics to officially accept professional athletes was...erm, either 1988 or 1992." Can we do better than that? --Henrygb 13:06, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Yo Mr Moderator dude

Erm Shamateurism is to do with professional amateurism as popularised by rugby union in particular. It is a perjorative term and cannot be described without highlighting 100 years of hate and discrimination from the union code to the league code. I mean in the history of the world only one sport has ever said if you play this other sport (whether paid for it or not), you can never ever play our game again. This is a point worthy of making. There's enough pro-union bias in the world. Why do you want to extend it to here? Why do you keep over-writing what I said?

There is no moderator here, nor is there a unionite bias. There was an article here called "Shamateurism", it was merged with "amateur sports" following a vote. All the content was moved to the other article.

"Shamateurism" automatically redirects to the main article. When you edited the article you removed the redirect, this was why your edits were reverted.GordyB 08:49, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
