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?

    1) Michelle Kwan has become a millinoinaire from skating. the tours she does she can get paid for becuase of the public speaking tha supposedly goes on. she doesn't in any way have to worry about money. 2) Canada is a 51st state, the US has become too conservative for it. This Goodsmith is one of our few disagreements.
