NO. You have to START with an image which must be 'taken' somehow.
The bar is INSANELY low these days.
Too much is never enough
Why wait for drama on the field when it can be created ad hoc from drama of old...

I don't know ANY amateurs who submit or have any 'Stock Photography' accounts. Besides, sports is Quite Time Sensitive so while you may run a stock photo of a player or coach, the PLAY only happened at that time. Getting the Action Shot of somebody having their SPINE CRUSHED is a oner. Amateurs are not likely to have access to the locations on the field and GEAR to GET those shots. For example, a CANON 400mm f2.8 'stabilized' lens will run NEARLY 10,000$ When you go to some events and are a 'registered' user, you can go to the Canon booth and borrow some glass. Nikon works the same way. I could be wrong, but in 35mm size DSLRs, I've never SEEN any cameras BUT Nikon or Canon.
Stock photography IS a good business, no question. And todays NEWS and SPORTS photos of note are desired, they MAY become tomorrows 'stock' image.
I've worked along side some GOLF and SURF photographers. Some lucky few are employed by board or club makers and a few others are employed by the magazines. But the rest are freelancers. One guy I met a a golf tourney (Pro-Am, where cameras are allowed) had a Blimped EOS1. Very high frame rate AND it was almost dead silent due to the special case made from 7mm neoprene, also used to make wet suits. $$$$$
