Sadly, optimism and radical social experiments did not easily survive the 90s. Within two years of my retirement from active play, the Ultimate Players Association was hijacked by those whose ambitions lay in the visibility of the sport and not its ethic. A professional manager who had never played the sport was hired to lead it. Grass-roots play remains in many places adherent to the egalitarian and utopian vision of the sport's youth but its direction from above is now subordinate to marketing and profiteering interests.
