exactly, level playing field
All the scandals tied to golf are because of corruption among its amateur player set, i.e. rich fuckheads? Am I missing something?

not a pro sport, but there's probably nothing more corrupt than american college football (and basketball, to a slightly lesser extent)

NCAA football and basketball would definitely win.

I bet there are some major lacrosse scandals that none of us know about.
Ha I was going to name check lacrosse just because there's so little money in it in the US that pro players also have day jobs.

Baseball is run pretty above-board these days (unlike the out and out collusion that happened in the past), has the strongest union in American sports, huge average and top end salaries though players get a relatively low percentage of overall revenue (~40% IIRC vs 50%+ in the other major sports). It's all built on TV deals that can't last in the age of cordcutting, but for now everyone's winning.
Minor leaguers are exploited but less so than the kids forced into college to play football or basketball.

Shocked that basketball won - between questionable officiating and the owners forcing a lockout even though they were all profitable, the league is pretty fucked up.
ILH wins
