OK just read that Katie Hoff has gone professional. Not that this has any bearing on anything but I am bit bummed.
I really was hoping that she would break Pablo’s NCAA records for most wins in college. There is a part of me that
really wants to have swimmers be amateurs, but that is quickly blasted out of the water with all the DUAH! Why
wouldn’t an oober athlete get millions of dollars for their athletic talents --that is years overdue. Does any one think
swimmers will get to be “divas” or “divos” like some professional athletes?

I do. She appears to be motivated by self-esteem issues. She's had a very successful and lucrative career. There are a lot of 15 or 16 year old kids out there who would like to be able to move up, but there are only a handful of spots available.
After 2 Olympic games and 5 world championship titles, I say she's had time to prove herself as an excellent skater gold medal or not. Don't get me started. I've been into skating since Toller Cranston did his bizarre routines in spacey costumes. :o
