		By the beginning of the 20th cent., leaders of two major sports movements, the American intercollegiate athletic system and the Olympic Games (revived in 1896), had adopted amateurism, claiming it developed competitors who were morally superior to professionals.
		As evidenced by the return of Thorpe's medals in 1982, amateurism by the 1990s was a concept of diminished importance and one more of technical than moral distinction.
		The major organizations involved in the supervision of amateur athletics in the United States are the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), responsible for college and university sports, and the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), responsible for most other areas of amateur competition.

	LII: Law about...Sports
		Also, keep in mind that even though an athlete may be defined as an amateur by one organization, he or she may not be an amateur according to another.
		A simplistic, yet useful definition is that amateur athletes participate in sports as an avocation while professional athletes are involved in sports as a vocation.
		The concept of amateur sports includes a range of activities from an individual casual weekend athlete to high school athletics to extensively organized intercollegiate or international competitions.

	CBC Sports: Olympic loss could hit amateur sports coverage
		"I think that as far as amateur sports are concerned on the CBC, then, as I was saying earlier, our premise, our work had been based on the assumption that we were working as part of the Olympic movement," he says.
		Sport B.C. says it would be a major blow to amateur sports if CBC Television cut back its coverage of amateur events.
		"The amateur sport community relies on the CBC to broadcast all of its events across the country, and it would be disastrous for amateur sport if in fact that coverage was curtailed in any way," says Sport B.C.'s Bill Hallett.

	Sports [encyclopedia]
		Sports are recreational or competitive activities involving some amount of physical strength or skill.
		At one time, sports were commonly considered to include only the outdoor recreational pastimes, such as fishing, shooting, and hunting, as opposed to games, which were regarded as organized athletic contests played by teams or individuals according to prescribed rules.
		Many early cultures (e.g., the Aztec Indians and the ancient Greeks) incorporated religious and political elements into their games, but there was always a desire for recreational play that eventually inspired the codification of early games and the invention of new ones.
