The Olympic committee pays for it. Everything in life does not have a price tag on it. But everything in life DOES have a choice attached to it. These guys get more money from their shoe contracts for playing in the Olympics. Isn't that really enough? Listen, I have always looked at Wade as a whiney douche off and on the floor. He just continues to cement my opinions. If i am asked to do something, just as every other American is, I have a choice if i want to do it or not. As stated numerous times, if you think you need to be paid, then dont do it.But whining abouit it is going to give you this backlash. |

I don't think he was whining about it at all. He was asked a question and answered it. But as always, people blew it out of proportion and attacked him. |

We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel.

You know that athletes have been fighting this battle for decades? It shouldn't matter whether a rich person or a poor person talks about the issue. There is still a major problem w the system and how all Olympuc athletes are compensated. |

If Wade would have addressed the system, as opposed to his individual sport, then I don't think there would have been much of an issue. |

HE IS COMPENSATED FOR IT. And olympians are paid. Not a lot. Peace Corp type money. But they are. Once again, you have choices. Just dont play. But i am assuming he KNOWS that there would be a backlash if he didnt. which means appearance money, ad money, etc. Which is why i assume that his agent got on the phone immediately telling him this. Which leads to the 180 he did. |

Exactly. All the basketball players are paid; maybe not directly, but they up their net worth by participating. The kayak team on the other hand... |

It's not that they aren't compensated, it's how much. It's the same situation as the NCAA. Why do the athletes get so little of the pie? They certainly deserve it every bit as much as some executive working at NBC. |

College players get paid too. I've done two hundred tax returns this year with people paying student loans that wish they were athletes. |

How much is a very important issue. The Olympics aren't a charity, it's a multi-billion dollar operation. I think the athletes deserve more than they are currently receiving for what they do. |

hearing how much when discussing a multi million dollar athlete is humorous. Even from you |

And I think the athletic departments properly compensate their athletes. Food, housing, clothes, stipend, and the education. The NCAA on the other hand gives nothing and continues to cash in on their billion dollar TV deals that are secured by the athletes that they use. |
