I still think the Olympics should go back to amateurs only. Fuck all this professionals shit, sponsors, blah blah blah.....

It used to be about the best a country had to offer, from their everyday average citizens. I say we get on facebook and start a petition. They always seem to do so well on there.

pro players. such as nhl players for example are well paid. but they are still everyday people man. and they are still citizens of this country giving them as much right as anybody else to play. Aside from a busy schedule. they are not rich stuck up snobs like most would think. I've had the oppertunity to talk to Sidny Crosby for a whole 10 minutes at graduation. and he was like you or I with a few extra dollars.. And my close friend Brad Marchand happens to play for the Boston Bruins / AHL Providence Bruins... he likes titties, hot chicks, getting trashed and gaming it up lol.. so ya

The USA has a set up where a gold medalist gets a huge sum of cash.... Up here in canada they don't really get that. it all depends on the country really. But i do agree sponsors have taken over

Usually the Olympics are the best a country can offer. Other than most USA athletes, others do not get paid that much money for their talent. They earn most of their money by winning competitions during the year, like golf, but even then it's not much. In fact you could go as far as to say that the problem for most countries is that they don't pay their athletes enough money thus making it harder for anyone to consider chosing that path as a career.

If you're talking about hockey only Ford, well then you have a point. However, even though these are professional athletes and they get paid tons of money, they are still the best the country has to offer. If you make it to the NHL you're the best of the best it's as simple as that.

      jelly3384's application for Enlistment Form Questions Name you wish to use and Age: (Our unit uses realistic names, this does not have to be your real name) Pigeon, 16 Platform Type Epic Games Store Steam ID (Use 17 Digit SteamID 64 / PC Game Pass Account Username): Pigeon_theft   Do you have a microphone? Yes   Which game title are you applying for? Hell Let Loose   If you've selected Hell Let Loose, do you understand that this game is currently not cross platform capable and only PC players currently may apply? ( Steam or PC Game Pass) Yes   Why do you wish to join the 1st Marine Raiders? I've played BFV and milsimed in it, and it was a lot more fun when I milsimed. and I enjoy playing HLL, so I think it is going to be more fun when I join.   Did any of our current members play a part in you enlisting? If so, who? If none, how did you learn about us: I found you guys from a website called disboard when looking for HLL milsim groups to join.   This unit offers more than just a place to play games with each other, do you have any online skills you think would be useful? no   Do you have any Leadership experience that you think will be helpful? I'm not sure if it will be helpfull,but I used to be in BFV milsim groups and in my last one I got to [E-7] out of [E-1] to [O-8], so I was a NCO and I helped the officers with whatever they needed doing, weather it was assisting with training, settling disputes or helping them decide what was appropriate disciplinary action. And when we were in combat I was usually assigned to lead my own squad.   Have you ever been in a realism unit before, and if so, which unit was it? yes. I was in quite a few BFV milsim groups, although I was only in one at any given time. unfortunately, I have left the discord servers and I do not remember the names of them. if you would like, I could probably give a reference to someone who was an officer in most of the groups I was in.   By posting this Enlistment form, I acknowledge the instructions completely, declare that I am 16 years old or older, and agree that I have and will follow server and unit rules maturely and respectfully or face immediate rejection. Yes   Application stats UserId: 943213736024498227 Username: jelly3384 User: @Rec. J. Buford Duration: 1131 seconds Joined guild at: a day ago
