That's where I'm a little conflicted. I don't mind pros being in the Olympics... short of drugs, part of the thrill of watching the Olympics is seeing the -best- in the world. Not the second-stringers that couldn't make the NBA.

However, I realize that all their petty antics is gonna necessarily come with that. American pro sports breed crybabies, whiners, and selfish bastards. Maybe my true joy is watching the rich bastards lose to Estonians (or whoever). I want the best of both worlds... I want to see the finest in athletic skill, but I also want to see decent sportsmanship and humility. Reckon you can't have everything.
