A sponsored league for elite Ultimate players happened back in the early 1990's. Remember?
The Cuervo Ultimate Championships!
"I'm convinced that Ultimate players have always been their own worst enemies. The irreverence and rebelliousness, the self-regulation, lack of structure and the fights - everything that made Ultimate so fun to play were the things that made it impossible to sell. If you can't sell the sport to a tequila company, who can you sell it to?"
-- Dee Rambeau [Organizer of the Cuervo Ultimate Championships (1990-1992)]
