The "Dream Team" springs to mind. Ice Hockey. Amateur track and field? These guys and gals get paid 6 figures to run around an oval. The only place that amateur sports exists is at the high school level and below, and if you are a good enough high school player, there is some question in that, according to some things that I have seen. Amateur sports no longer exist, really. Except with little kids.
