It seems Jai Alai Fan thinks all Pro Jai Alai players command respect. Maybe he doesn't remember 1988 and some "Pros" who went straight from the rubberball courts to being a Professional at Dania Jai Alai. Respect is earned not given. I have played the game and I would consider myself an average amatuer player but I could of played pro along with many others, how can just an average amatuer player command respect just because he has played pro.
