They knew 4 years ago that the Olympics would most likely be a huge event for them with Phelps having a real shot at 8 golds...
The press coverage about swimming /Phelps has been unprecedented
Yet with millions watching the swimming events going nuts have we seen one blip from them? Not even a 10 second banner with the web address....
Even Croc's whose stock has gone from 70 to 4 in the last 8 weeks is advertising...
A complete lost opportunity on their part...kids/parents who may know nothing about the sport will be seeking out teams and coaches and many will ultimately find them but can you imagine what could have been?
Then again this is the same organization facing a massive civil suit for being inept in how it handles the JH situation...I've also heard that the notification was faxed to their offices on Friday the 18th and sat there for 3 days till someone noticed on Monday...nice.
i think just seeing phelps swim and win will inspire kids to join swim teams and do summer league
what do you think USS Swimming should be doing?
It's kind of like with music marketing
we don't jump up and down when SONY releases a new CD
we buy artists we like and pretty much don't care who their label is
it's a shame that tara kirk and lara jackson got screwed out of going to the olympics
why can't swimming have alternates like gymnastics?
why not train and take the third place finishers
just in case
