So you would prefer a bunch of people we've never heard of represent our country, and with hockey being such a dismal pastime here, like do that well, outside of aberrations (or 'miracles'). It's not like that was really an all-star game... they were hitting and fighting, and while I haven't watched an NHL all star game, they surely do not match that intensity.
Where do you draw the line?
Sorry Mr. White, you are the best snowborder in the world by a mile, but you are sponsored, so no go for you.
Sorry awesome skater everyone remembers from n years ago, you toured for 3 months, no Olympics for you.
Meanwhile the ratings of the two lowest ranked NBA teams beat the ratings of the unknowns from country A vs the unknowns from country B.
Why do you think it should be the best amateurs from the country, and not the country's best?
Like anders said, there are already events like that, they cited many times during some events 'they won the xyz tournament/event last year'. Nobody has heard of it, and taking the names people that live in those countries know out of the Olypmics just doesn't make sense to me so I am honestly asking why. And then people respond to your comment and you just seem to cross your arms and say 'well just because, it's my opinion' rather than back it up, why?
