Unlike the NFL, NBA, and MLB, track stars are independent agents and will always act in their own best interests which will never align except when the Olympics and World Championships come around. Other than those three meets, trying to get the athletes to act cooperatively will always be akin to herding cats.<br />If our sport fails to recapture its past glory, I feel like, "So what? It's a great sport and let's just enjoy these marvelous athletes when they choose to compete on their own terms." <br /><br />John Nehmer<br />Milwaukee, WIJohn Nehmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09143181078741467658noreply@blogger.com
