27、ay. Social Darwinism was in full flower, with its stress on cruel competition and survival of the fittest. Capitalism was rough and raw.

32、们毫无掩饰他们追求商业价值和实际利益的心态。作为现代拥有自由思想的人，他们用金钱来换取胜利。这也是为什么左翼评论家欢迎公司主导体育运动的原因。 Unit 3: Text B 7. Over the decades, the word amateur changed its meaning.

Unit 3: Text B 8. 对商业利益和专业成绩的追求已经填补了这一空白。泰勒布兰奇在本期大西洋月刊上刊登的精彩的封面文章大学运动之耻揭示了经济因素如何控制支配大学体育运动。每个人都在赚钱，除了运动员。文章报道，在公立大学任教的大学足球教练平均收入高达200多万美元，甚至助理教练有时也能有将近100万美元的收入。 Unit 3: Text B 9.

Unit 3: Text B 10. 布兰奇揭露了美国大学体育总会及其下属院校保护和扩大他们经济利益的残酷方式。例如，很多学校坚持保持运动员的学生身份，原因之一就是如果学生受伤了，学校不需要支付工伤赔偿。肯特沃尔德里普是一名跑卫，他在代表德克萨斯基督教会大学打球的时候受伤，身体失去了知觉。他向法院提起诉讼，要求校方为自己对学校做出的牺牲给予赔偿。德克萨斯

40、基督教会大学应诉并赢得了这桩官司。 Unit 3: Text B 11. Branch concludes that it is time to give up on the amateur code entirely. Pay the players and get over it.
