Certainly it's hyped about winning the championship, in whatever sport/ game. I'm sure many athletes are true to this.
I have a contrarian view. I say some jocks don't care, and are only concerned about their contracts.
Did Mo Vaughn care about winning ?
If I won the WSOP, I wouldn't give a shit about about the damn bracelet ! I'd want my 2-5 million. I don't wear jewelry. I don't even own a watch ! I don't even wear my wedding ring !
I say, some athletes, don't care about winning, they care about money ! Of course , there are many exceptions, likely most pro atheletes.
Personally the money from winning WSOP, would be far more important, than than a bracelet, I'd never wear. I'd sell the trinket on E-bay or something, or just give it away. Winning the event would have meaning, beyond financial, but I wouldn't wear it, even if I had 10 of them !
