[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 2899100, member: 3099"] Nothing. It's their use of the opportunity they've been given to be political. Also, and this isn't their fault, but the media flocking to them to slobber all over them while at the same time ignoring a 6 time medalist is just slightly off putting. Add in the obvious overwhelming desire to make up the epic hardships almost every athlete has to deal with and still excel and the urge to puke is real. The media is most of the problem but the athletes just can't say no to the attention either and seem just fine exploiting it. YMMV. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
