The owners dislike the Olympics because they feel they realize no benefit. The World Cup is a response to that complaint, not a cause of them abandoning the Olympics.
They shouldn't, and everyone understands the rational behind the decision. Obviously it's a business decision. It's still crap and I hope players go off to play in the Olympics.

The World Cup and abandoning the Olympics are 100% entwined.
