After this heartbreaking experience,Thorpe turned to professional sports.He played major league baseball for six years and did fairly well.Then he played professional football for six years with spectacular success.His last professional football season was in 1926.After that,his youthful indifference to studies and his unwillingness to think of a nonsports career caught up with him.He had trouble finding a job,and his friends deserted him.He periodically asked for,but never was given back,his Olympic prizes.From 1926 until his death in 1953,he lived a poor,lonely,unhappy life.
But in 1950 the Associated Press held a poll to determine the outstanding athlete of the half-century.Despite his loss of the Olympic gold medals and a sad decline in fortune during his later years,Thorpe was almost unanimously chosen the greatest athlete of modern times.
