First, the Pro thing: You don't have to go back all that long ago when the olympics was an "amateur" sporting event. No pros. And it was exciting, engaging, and patriotic. Now, it's just the spoiled millionaire brats getting their name and face plastered yet again on the front pages. The Olympics is all about PRIDE. Did you feel the same sense of Pride when the US Basketball Dream team swept the competition as you did when the group of collegiates beat the Russians in 1980? THAT was exciting. Todays games may showcase the "better" athletes, but at what cost? So what if China harvests freaks of nature? That's just one more reason that we're better than they are. What are the Olympics for anyway? If not for entertainment, then what? And what keeps you better entertained? I vote for rules that gave us the memory of 1980.
