Hey all, 33 years of age, living in Toronto and fan of most all sports. Bowling and poker are not sports gentlemen!

Are professional athletes obligated to give back to society? This is a question that???s been debated in professional circles for along time
Mia Hamm the US women???s soccer legend writes
???Whatever choice you make and however you decide to give back, I believe that we all have an obligation to help those less fortunate than us, whether we are professional athletes or not.???
But obligation is such a strong word, it binds us to a certainty rather than a choice. Does she mean that being born as a human being obligates us to give back to the human race? Then who defines what this giving…
