They signed pro contracts, and if you look at the rules, you'll find that it states clearly that these players should be ruled ineligible. If your team lost, wouldn't you send home extra people who were expected to have covered the medal round matches? There are more interesting and pertinent things for American viewers to watch than hockey matches between two other countries. Obviously, if you're not going to broadcast these hockey games which you wholly expected to broadcast, then you're not going to need all your manpower. Finally, did you ever hear the term "sore winner"? If not, you should learn the meaning of the term from your own actions. Mark
