Because its the Olympics, you there to represent your country not yourself. Also Track & Field is far more important to the Games then hoopball is. If Americas 3rd choice 800m runner isnt gettin paid then why should NBA stars who earn £20m+ per season do so.

US Olympics and these other companies making PROFIT, you think the money they make from this event all given to chairty?


The 800m cac runner for the US not making a penny for anyone, so he shouldn't be getting a dime, lebron making $$ for everyone but himself. What of he gets hurt and his career over? You think Olympics going to compensate for him? :russ:

Everybody else is making millions but superstar athletes are wrong for wanting a piece of the revenue they generate.

Dwyane Wade in particular has talked about wanting compensation for involvement in Team USA. The players just don't want to surrender their summers for no compensation. The honor of it has worn off by the time they've done it once or twice, another reason to go with 23-and-under.
:what:

So why not just say no? They can't make him go.

its not the olympics forcing them to go. its their endorsement companies that force them to go. like adidas trying to get d12 and rose global, so they have stipulations in their shoe deals that say they gotta participate in the olympics. thats why they are getting 9 figure shoe deals. its all based on these contingencies. this is why u keep seeing the major stars playing in olympic competition as of late.

To be honest yes. Tiger ain't making shyt, Phelps gets his guap off of endorsements. If you don't wanna play turn down the offer. Is it really that hard of a concept?

Damn all D Wade did was voice his opinion. Some of you are acting like dude set up a Million Man March to protest the Olympics.

Too much estrogen in these posts fellas. Calm down.

:beli:

When Wade bytched the exact same back and forth occurred. People thought that players should get paid, others thought that none of the players should get paid.

Wade: NBA Olympians should be compensated; This is my last time participating - ProjectCOVO.com Global Forum

Don't try to make Wade some victim
