So they're sellouts because they someone said, "here's a contract for a good some of money"? I guarentee you that you would do the same, and if don't, you'll regret it. I didn't want to throw Johnny Moseley in this because it seems that everyone hates him, but he did the same thing. If I were him, I would do it. If skiing is all you do to make money....it's a job. Argue that all you want, but ask and Pro skier what their job is...they'll say "skier". Don't bring overpaid whiney Traditional sport athletes into this. Everyone knows they are overpaid. It may be wrong but that's what business is. They are paid millions because they can generate that amount and more for their companies. Doctors are not underpaid. Nurses are depending on your location. Wrong? yes, nurses deserve more, but most times a nurse doesn't take the job for the money.
My point is don't be so quick to throw the sellout card. They may look like a sellout to you, but to them they are trying to make money, Corporations are the quickest easiest and bes way to make as much money as you can spend.
Every single professional athlete has had to make a choice in their life about which direction to head. Be is School and a regular job with an assured salary, or a Professional athlete where you can forget about job security because of injuries. After an injury you either have to have and education, or some money to get you through the injury, and whatever comes next.
However people want to dress and act, is what they are going to do. Some people are jackasses and that's just they way they are. A community has those. You have to take the good with the bad. I'm not sure what acting like a wigger has to do with progression of skiing but...
However you make money on a regular basis is a job. Like it or not professional athletes of any sport go to work on the ski slopes, bball courts, football fields. And if you want to see insanly big contracts, look at English Premier Leage Soccer players. David Beckham?
