I think he has a point. The majority of the people complaining are band-wagon fans. The ones that don't care about the olympics except when they are on.
It isn't really fair for people who don't pay attention to the olympic sports to beak off at the athletes when they are breaking canadian records, but not getting any medals.
Medals take time and money. If these people want the results, they need to support the athletes the other 3.5 years that they are training. Not just at the games.
