I agree, but like I said in a previous post basketball is a huge money money at the Olympics, and the IOC is not about to put an end to that. Plus basketball is truly a worldwide sport where people all over the world play it. It deserves to be an Olympic sport, but the US is obviously a huge favorite with the pro's coming over each time. At least there are more than two nations that actually put an effort to winning as well, they unfortunately aren't doing that in women's hockey.
