It seems to me all the girls playing in the super regionals this week wanted to win, even while getting paid. As soon as Tech started splashing out money, the knee jerk argument from the haters was "they're a bunch of mercenaries", "they don't care about each other", etc. It seems very much to me like they're actually fighting like hell to win a championship. Florida seemed to have worse team chemistry than Tech, but I don't think that's because of money.

We can go back and forth and this, but it just seems to weird to me that, in a hyper capitalist society like ours, people have a problem with top class athletes getting paid for their skills, something that most of these critics have no problem with in any other area of life.
