Gann,

In the dark ages our cricketers got pennies to play.

Our footballers from both codes could not play professionally and live a comfortable life.

Same goes for our golfers,athletes and swimmers.

Times have changed.

The goal is to make $$$ and fame in sport as it is no longer ameteur. That includes all codes.

If you have a very special skill that was in great demand and you know that a few years of your short career overseas would set you up for life, wouldn't you go for it?

I would.

Elite athletes are no different.
