Quite frankly if the players are going to go they should be compensated.

That is crazy talk. The players aren’t forced to go, they are asked by their country and say yes or no knowing full well there is a risk of injury while playing. If a player is worried about injury or feels he needs to be compensated to go to the Olympics he should just flat out not go.

These guys make enough money without having to be paid to play in the olympics. This type of thinking infuriates me.
