quote from the original author of this story

for some reasons, i really think that this quote is actually being directed specially to Jay Gatsby. it is because maybe for Gatsby, Daisy is his everything. so at the moment she leave him, it just like his whole world fall apart. 

i really believe that Gatsby is being involve in all those illegal activities because of his love toward Daisy. so, i feel sympathy to Gatsby because Daisy easily broke the promise that they made a long time ago by marrying Tom. Next, even after all what Gatsby has done to make her happy,  she doesn't even appreciate his effort and Gatsby can't do anything about that. 

on top of that, i also think that Daisy is someone who is materialistic. you know why? just think the reason why she choose Tom instead of Gatsby who is undoubtedly love her? i think it is because when she knows that all Gatsby's fortune comes from the illegal activities, she thinks that one day maybe all the fortune will disappear when his crime is being uncovered. thus, she choose Tom who is truly rich man even though he cheats on her. i think when she is already get tired of all that and she is already an old woman then, she will realize that she actually need a true love. Money can't bring the happiness.

# before i end i just want to share the meaning of  "OLD SPORT"

“Old sport” is Gatsby's catchphrase that will be constantly repeated throughout the novel. It is associated typically with England and aristocratic old money, something Gatsby strives to be associated with.
