I agree. That's why the miracle on ice thing was awesome even to a Hockey Hater like me. It was amateurs against communist pros, probably cause it's USA too, but that doesn't count.

I think basketball is definitely a prime example of the suck of pros in the olympics.

However, the olympics were headed into the toilet without pros and they do get more ratings now that they have them there. I guess we won't get the amateurs ever again, which sucks.
