If it were 1960, I'd agree. And if the Olympics were a charity, I'd agree. But the Olympics has turned into a billion dollar business. I don't think it makes sense to expect athletes to volunteer their time and talents to line the pockets of the IOC, USOC, NBC, and all it's sponsors. |

“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. 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. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves." "I’d take him to the ends of the earth — I’d want him playing for me.” - Bo Ryan on Robbie Hummel

So then don't! No one is forcing them to do that. They can choose to volunteer and represent their country or they can choose to not. There will always be players that see value in participating and I am more than happy to have those players be the ones to represent the USA. Edited by dreachon, Apr 14 2012, 10:06 AM.

My guess is that he could care less about the "system" What and when do i get paid is his concern. |

No doubt, but there are ways to go about that so you don't come off as a greedy jackwagon to the general public.....at least not as much as he did with the route he chose. |

I agree with cam I don't really see it as wade bitching, just bringing up a somewhat valid point but because it's wade people are blowing it way out of proportion. That said, Im not overly sympathetic any time millionaires want more money. |

Who ever said Olympic athletes don't make money? |

If you want to get paid to do something when other athletes aren't, go to Kentucky. |

Here you go again... So is a pole vaulter worth as much as wade? How about the Curling team? How much should they be earning? I'm sure we sell a lot of Curling apparel, those people should definitely be getting a cut. |
