You know Wanderer, we could get all down about this, but there will always be people like your friend Seb Coe ~ they are the people that will keep the spirit alive.wanderer2704 said:You are perfectly right there Cate. Some years ago I met a goalkeeper from a fairly lowly Enghlish Soccer team in a social situation. At the time he was about 30 and therefore getting towards the end of his career and never likely to play for a big club but he was still paid twice as much in a week as I was in a month! He talked about going to work when he didn't really know what work was. For him it was 2 maybe 3 hours training a day plus possibly 2 matches a week lasting 90 minutes each time. I don't mind that as long as he realises that it is the fans that pay his wages through the extortionate ticket prices, but he just thought anybody who paid to watch his team were nuts. As for loving his sport - no he didn't anymore it was a just a job. I think that is so sad.

LOL I watched that last night - what a great partnership those two have. I think that the men's beach volleyball should have the same TV time and less clothing - why do THEY were shirts?????wanderer2704 said:Hi lovely. I'm fine thanks. I'm gradually getting there and am almost prepared for going to London tomorrow. I keep getting distracted by the Olympics though. The good old BBC showed highlights of the womens beach volleyball this morning. I think something like that should only be shown late at night!![]()

wanderer2704 said:Glad to hear you find the men's volleyball as "interesting" as I find the womens. You question about shirts, I wonder the same about the women!![]()
