Our country was built on free enterprise, and it continues to thrive on that today. I don't see Bailey
cashing in on this sport, instead, I see Bailey cashing in on Bailey--on his skill and his years of experience. I find nothing wrong there.
I believe this, along with the
fact that not any of us are in the position to know what Jerry Bailey has done with a single dime of his income, his wealth.
Anonymity, void of the praise and view of others can be a tremendous gift. And it is often one's choice.
