why are professionals at the olympics?


Recommended Posts

can anyone explain why they are allowing more and more professionals in a tournament whose basis was for amateurs? I think it is so unfair.. i thought the olympics committee would ban professionals since it goes against it's very foundation.

what really bothers me are athletes who win gold as amateurs...then the million $$ endorsements come thru and they are corrupted.. the object then becomes winning gold for endorsements rather than representing their nation.

i'm not trying to say anything against athletes who win, and i think it's fantastic for usa to win and represent, but seriously... what are professionals doing in the tournament?
