[QUOTE="Second and Chalmers, post: 1210281, member: 527609"] Yeah, but that's totally 20/20 hindsight. You can't pick those cases out ahead of time. Regardless, the force of gravity that attracts great athletes and the highest profile level of competition that will have them is overwhelming, across sports, countries, genders, eras, whatever. The best want to be on the big stage, which has a lot to do with why they're the best in the first place. Someone that perceives that as a "risk" is unlikely to be the kind of person in a position to make that decision. The people who do think that way are agents, something these kids aren't allowed to have. [/QUOTE]
