   Lack of credibilty.  If any part of it is rigged then it rots the entire   
   concept.  The issue I have with hockey is that those same players can be seen   
   without the extra hype and expense.  Nothing new there.  With basketball it is   
   even worse then that seeing that basketball isn't as universal, although that   
   same thing could be said about most Olympic sports.  Might as well make poker   
   an Olympic sport now that it is starting to take over the airwaves.  Geez I   
   thought golf was the most boring to watch but now I see it can get worse.
