Hilarious. Looks like RK lost sight of the long term goal. Should have just paid the $30.00. Bob Duncan wrote: > > > How do some people treat a two-time Olympic champion? > > > > Don't ask.

Re: t-and-f: Re: [masterstf] Kingdom denied entry at meet
Agreed. I have always had respect for Kingdom, but my estimation of him just went down a couple notches (assuming of course the story is true). Kudos to the meet organizers for sticking to their policy. There is no "principle" here on Kingdom's part - he tried to get last minute entry into the meet and he shouldn't be expecting any consideration at all. If he indeed is giving up a last minute chance to qualify because he feels he is owed something, then he is obviously not as committed to making the team as one would have guessed.

Not to mention how exactly are they supposed to capitalize on his presence if he entered at the last minute. edndana wrote: > > Agreed.
