Abstract:	From p. 341: "Sports rules are also a response to the common property resource (CPR) problem posed by any game: The game is more fun (and economically more valuable to players and spectators alike) if it is played according to certain rules. Yet absent some kind of enforcement, breaking the rules is always in the interests of every single player."
