Said to be Michael Lewis’s last paragraph in a article written for the first issue of Portfolio, a new magazine:
At this point, the soul of professional sports is beyond worrying about: Athletes are frantically self-interested; marvelously self-absorbed; always looking for any edge, however unfair; and forever leaping from team to team in search of a few more dollars. In other words, the jock market already has the morals of the stock market.
Lewis was reportedly paid $12 a word for the article, so that paragraph was worth $636 (depending on how you count hyphenated words).
