Dick,

    The American officials were absolutely right in trying to disqualify the
Canadian players.  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.
