I sure hope that's not where our development money is going considering they are pro sports and the people playing them for the most part are filthy rich allready.

What this country is lacking is a grassroots program where as in where you see a 10 year old youngster good at say "skiing" you pay his way as long as he/she is interested. the true talents start very young but sadly some don't ever develope because of financial reasons from the parents.
