ESPN - Report: Co-captain Yanez says he's off U.S. Olympic boxing team - Olympics

Family comes 1st in the end. Why couldn't they work with him on this issue?

There's no way they are going to let that happen again. In 04 their team had basically two weeks of practice with one another, and had little chemistry. . They could have sent any given lower tier NBA team over there and given a much better account.. And besides that, their 08 squad is sickening. Bryant, Carmelo, Lebron, Kidd, Wade, Chris Paul, Bosh, Dwight Howard, I can't even remember who else but that alone is just unfair, they have 5 guys who have previously played in the Olympics(win or lose) and they all know that they actually have to take it seriously this time. Their 04 team just went through the motions, not nearly enough team play. I don't see any country that has a chance this time.

p4pking there is countries out there that have more than a chance. The other countries teams might not be loaded with as much talent as the us squad but talent doesn't always win. Sure coach k has actually tried to make this a team this time around by having it be a two year process instead of just a bunch of players being thrown on a roster to play together, still doesn't compare to the other countries where in many cases the people playing together have been doing so for nearly a decade. Also the talent disparity is not as big as it used to be, many of the countries have one or two guys playing in the nba and being rather sucessful at it.
