professional vs. amateur swimming.

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 just wish hindsight being 20/20 that people would admit being wrong once in a while. What I remember is demonstration after demonstration supporting NOT going to war and lots of car bumper stickers reading "Attack Iraq? NO!" Then again I'm in Seattle. Your mileage may vary. Any lefty who supported the Iraq war should be tarred and feathered.
