in America. We have the luxary of having leisure time and one of the things we do with that leisure time is engage in alot of athletic competition and training. Our athletes train for a variety of reason but I doubt the people playing water polo are doing it for fame and fortune. Other than the Dream Team I don't see your point. They go to the olympics its a once and a lifetime opportunity and they work hard to get there. If someone who worked hard and trained hard is getting an olympic medal happens to be from the US because they were the best amatuer athlete that Olympics they deserve it. How is this a bad thing?
The GOP forms gangs of people who don't work hard to take from people who do...I don't see the comparison.
