Judging by what happened in the badminton, yes it is.

Maybe the IOC shouldn't let Nigeria compete if they can't keep up with real countries.

My thoughts are they could institutionalise something like the soccer competition

Soccer does that on purpose so that the World Cup means a lot more *NM*

Football does it *because* the Euro/World Cups mean a lot more. An important distinction. *NM*

What Wibble said, and the reason has to do with the amount of competitive teams.

So who is stopping the other countries from making their own NBAs if they want to compete?

my main objection is how the olympics are now nothing more than an extension of pro leagues

You'd have us kick out every Olympian other than the boxers, then?

no, i'd have the olympics be more about sport and less about money

The "professionals shouldn't compete" argument is one of the dumbest things I've read in months.
