At a certain point, the team is just going to tell those girls to piss off, and they'll build the team with other players.

Lets face facts, outside of the Olympics, there's not a die hard following for woman's hockey, especially in the States, and I don't know if the game is growing or not becuause frankly right now its Team USA and Team Canada and then a bunch of teams wearing double runner skates and wearing water wings in case they fall.

Is the Olympic dream about making money? Sure, but you also have to be marketable while making that money. I don't think that this sport is all that marketable. Its a sport in the Olympics where people go because (sexism alert) all the tickets to the Men's hockey are gone.

If the team was offering them that $21,000 plus housing, transportation, equipment etc, then that's probably pretty generous considering the marketability of the sport, I don't think that people are filling up 5000 seat arenas to watch them play.

Like I said, the US will eventually get tired of this, and either kill the team entirely and go back to recruiting college players to come out at the last possible minute and still win medals. Or they'll throw their arms up in the air and basically state that any player that boycotts the WC will lose their Olympic dream.
