Every reader of this blog knows my feelings about the pro athletes in the Olympics as being sports imperialism.

We already know that the NBA blog and presumedly the players do not like the proposed Stern 23 and under rule for Olympic Basketball. And while it is not a complete victory, as William Wilberforce would say (he endorsed a neutral bill that had the tendency to eliminate 80% of the British slave trade), it […]

This kind of outrageous mismatch is exactly the reason why the pro athletes must GO from the Olympic games. They skew the results so as to hinder true competition.

Yesterday, I blogged on someone who DOES GET IT: Michael Callahan at the Philly Post!

When I read the caption I was pleased: What does that mean? Are the major sportwriters starting to come around on how pros and greed have ruined Olympic Basketball?
