You can't tell fans when and where to support them. Most of these sports are flat out dull when the olympics aren't on.
Honestly this sense of entitlement from some Canadian athlete's is pissing me off. They went into their sports knowing what they were getting into.
As a fan I have every right to support them when I want - and if that means I just pay attention once every 4 years - well it's either that or nothing.
I understand medals take time and money - but why are we sending over a HUGE team that is largely full of people that have no chance.
If the athletes want more money - fine - we can re-allocate a lot of it simply by cutting the team down to a third of it's size. Less people get to go but at least they have a better chance.
