I have a hard time understanding why anyone would want to watch a competition knowing that the participants are vastly inferior to others that could be competing in that sport. It wouldnt be more interesting to watch Tiger and Rory and Luke Donald and Ernie Els and other guys playing for their countries than a bunch of amatuers that no one has ever heard of?
I guess some people like all the flowery prose and nonsense that the olympic telecasts feed you. They are fixing badmiton matches. The damn ping pong players are professionals. Some amateur boxing matches have been fixed. Virtually every female gymnastic participant appears to be a borderline victim of child abuse.
At least the pros there are playing for free
