Okay at this point we all know that the US women's Olympic hockey team did not win gold; but, silver.
I say "KUDOS" to these women and well deserved. What I don't understand and would like explained to me is that our women's hockey team is made up of amateurs; but, our men's hockey team is made up of professionals. Why?
The Olympics was to honor and showcase our amateur athletes. Why is it that in some sports we have to have our professionals participate instead of putting together amateur teams - we certainly have enough athletes at the college/university level that could fulfill that role.
Let's give the Olympics back - these games should be for our amateur athletes. Let the professionals continue doing their jobs - and, not seeking the gold.
