I'm saying that higher profile athletes get more scrutiny. We are not ones to judge what is wrong and what is right. In MY opinion, her decision was selfish, but justified. Bobby asked why Becky was crucified while the baseball team was given a free pass. I tried to explain that it's because one sport is huge and in the spotlight, and the other is being kicked out of the olympics. Guess which one people will pay more attention to. I don't agree with it by any means, I just tried to explain why the situation turned out like it did. I hope this clears it up a bit.
Yeah, so you believe it's because Becky Hammond was much more well-known than the baseball team and she actually could have helped the team win a medal. That's a valid point definietly. And it did factor into the issue, without doubt. I believe that the fact that it was Russia however factored into the situation as well as the skill level of the athletes. I guess we both have valid points.
