I think you find this in a lot of sports guys. They love to play the game but are not watchers of the sports in professional or college. I have heard a lot of professional players who say they do not watch college sports and vice versa. I have found that most sports people either like college or professional but very few like both. There are a lot of sports fans who love to watch professional football or baseball or basketball but do not keep up with the college game and the same in reverse. I must admit that I would rather watch amateur sports over professional sports. I keep up with the professional rankings and watch highlights but if I'm gonna sit down and watch a game I would rather watch college or high school rather than professional.
