I'll tell you what, nothing is worse than having someone else profit off of your hard work.
We all know that feeling, when you've come up with a great idea, busted your ass, and figured out all the hard stuff… only to have someone else swoop in and take the glory. It happens all the time, in all walks. School, business, art, sports. It's a cruel fact of life, leaving you with only a few options.
1. Mope/bitch/sue somebody/eat your feelings.
2. Get back to work and try to do even better.
That's the thought I've been left with after watching USA Ultimate bicker with the AUDL and MLU all winter, capped off today by USAU's public statement on the professional leagues. I read it when I got home from work today, before I left for the gym to prepare for Dire Wolf tryouts and the upcoming club season. I read it, I angrily threw a bunch of weights around, and then I came back here to write.
