Yes, superstars can be good for sports! Do you think that Cito was denying this with his statement? I didn't. If you weren't sure, you could have just asked him if that is what he meant?
It should have been evident from my first post that this is not what I meant.
His words were not ambiguous and he didn't volunteer any clarification or respond when challenged. He didn't merely say that competition was more important than champions, which is perhaps how you took it. He literally stated "What's desired is not champions, but competition.". Literally champions are not desired, competition is what is desired.
He had ample opportunity walk back from that literal meaning to the meaning you prefer and it seem to me he only dug in deeper.
But that's cito, he's usually on the attack.
