Ok.
Kobe Bryant thinks it's a stupid idea that Commissioner Stern suggested limiting future Olympic rosters to 23 years and under.
Is it that stupid?
From what I saw, most mainstream American pundits agree with Kobe without really offering a reason other that it should be up to the players.
If you ask me, and you should, I don't think it's that stupid. Why? A couple of reasons.
One, I don't believe professional athletes should be at the Olympics to begin with. Sure, it's incredibly entertaining, but the Oylmpics is not about pro sports; it's about AMATEURISM.
Two, if you're going to permit pro athletes, I think soccer limits rosters to 23 years and under so it's not a far fetched an idea as Bryant may lead you to believe.

Only in France. For now.
Following PSG's signing of AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahovich, the usual silly bureaucratic mumbo-jumbo followed expressing outrage over the cost:
"French sports minister Valerie Fourneyron called the terms "astronomical" and "unreasonable," and added that the deal shows "the absence of all regulation," a criticism also voiced by the previous sports minister, Roselyne Bachelot."
Sigh. The concept of the free market is dead in France for real.
Don't laugh. I see this sort of logic used here as well.
As if it's the government's business to get involved in pro sports.
Hey, while we're at it, let's get all huffy about how much money celebrities make! Let's arbitrarily start with Adam Sandler!
Amazing.
