Message: [QUOTE="LwrcasefaN, post: 3996821, member: 11185"] Summary...everyone would pick a different team...for one reason or another. AND...someone would argue that someone got snubbed. You could have a 20 team roster...and the same would apply. There's TWELVE. That's it. Support them or not. They will most likely still win. Any TEAM event faces these same decisions. Other countries and even other American teams wish they had this problem. Last thing...I think if people (I'm talking Peters, Parker and Fisher types) want to tweet that someone was snubbed, then at least include who you would remove. It's only fair that they face the same critiquing albeit it won't be as passionate because they aren't in the position to choose 12 players out of a very talented pool. Peters irks me the most because....I could argue for most of her WNBA career...she was probably taking someone's spot on the Lynx when she won an WNBA title. I was shocked that Grant was selected on the men's side. I don't see the same passionate arguments and conspiracies that he or anyone else took someone else's spot. I suspect a lot of the difference is that the best women don't make millions making the Olympics a bigger deal. The best men will decline in a minute because....they are not trying to get hurt.
