O'Neal also recently refused to play on 2004 US Olyimpic Basketball team.

Professional athletes and underage children should be banned from the Olympics anyway.
Only true amateurs over the age of 21 should be permitted to compete.

You would deny us that riviting performance by Sarah Jones from the last olympics? Just to name one of numerous examples.

And if it wasn't for those under 21, women's gymnastics would be nothing but a bunch of short fat chicks.

An amature is an amature, no matter the age.

I kind of agree with your stance on professionals but I don't think we should disqualify ours until the rest of the world disqualifies theirs. Which will never happen.
