Sweden or Finland
Fins.

See I'm probably by myself on this opinion, but I don't think professional athletes should allowed to participate in Olympics.

That goes for every country. My father was a boxing fanatic and every Summer Olympics he would get so pissed off watching our young American boxers always having to fight those grown ass Cubans in finals of every weight class..
 
Not often you use obliterating competition to talk about a white basketball player.


I still think his age drops him a little maybe 12-15 range but hopefully not.

Last 2 Seniors to be taken in top 11 were

Jimmer Fredette who was drafted #6

Doug McDermott who was drafted #11


I believe both were National Players of the Year in the Senior years.

Yeah, the author literally opened it by noting his office and adviser role to Alabama and then presented him as a neutral party the whole rest of the article. That closing quote from DeBoer was laughable. It read like a Babylon Bee or Onion article.

Saban spends the whole article criticizing collectives and the author busts out this line
"And while Saban wants to see players get their share of the financial pie, he said the only way any of this works is if there's also a commitment on the players' side."

Fair share would be a % of the revenue like the pro sports CBAs. The collectives are peanuts compared to that and he's fighting that piece of it. Whatever else he's considering replacing it with it's clear the way he's talking he wants it linked directly to personal NIL (no collectives) which will be drastically lower numbers.

I can't stand Saban, but I'm particularly bothered by a coach getting filthy rich in a sport and then fighting tooth and nail to keep the players from getting a share. The aristocracy does not like to be threatened...
Right! Why can’t at least one “journalist” point this out??
 
Thanks for your reply

Why should professional athletes be allowed to participate in your opinion sir.?

You don't believe amateur athletes are good enough?
I prefer it to remain an 'amateur sport' just like I prefer College football to be a so-called amateur sport.
