I took a look at your fb sports shots dumping ground since the pp covered the website.  While I think you are doing alright documenting the games ( I don’t know much about this genre of photog though so you might what to ask togs in the same genre) what’s up with processing?  I don’t think I’ve ever seen sports photography processed in an attempt to look vintage ever before.  Why are some desaturated, while others the sat is brought up too high, then some more, have some other effect of some sort thrown onto it?  Sports photography is usually SOC or edited very little. Even when heavily edited, its edited in such a way that no one can tell.  People want to see true events, in true color.  Football players are usually pretty proud of their school/team colors as well.  Correct me if im wrong everybody, but Isn’t sports photography about documenting an event, and not the artist’s  interpretation of life?

Yeah, I’m going to have to say you’re a fauxtog currently.  Get some help/inspiration from within your own genre and away from YANAP, and I think your photography can and will improve a lot, until then don’t worry about business end of things.
