"Team USA or Group USA?"
So this is to the speed skating world are World Championships start tomorrow in Colombia. An there is a lot of fighting with the JR and Senior World Team guys mostly I believe now this is my opionion and Im not holding back at all. I think its crazy how they are fighting you guys are a TEAM! Now unless you live underneath a rock then you know Joey Manita is the star for are country. HE DESERVES IT! I'm not a worship Joey kid but damn he has all the titles and all the medals he WORKS for it if you want to be a champion WORK for it! Like Colin Thomas posted on twitter yesterday "The throne is up for grasp who wants it?" I know a lot of people are training it shoot I'm training for it. But its not going to be given to you, the season starts this sunday for me and I want to do what I did last year and not lose one meet. But back to the Team USA, you guys are being immature from the people posting stuff on facebook to the parents getting involved. Suck it up and SKATE! Let the medals talk and all that good stuff if you want to get respect EARN it. Im and old school kid in a young mans body you have to earn respect before you can just get it. Mantia, Hedrick, Turner, Vogel have earned there resect on the podium. Now to all the Juniors just go out there and skate dont let anyhting you get down. This is a once and life time oppurtinty maybe I would die to be at Worlds right now but im stuck in Georgia training as if I was at Worlds. You guys are so blessed and your taking it for granted just because the drills are based on the "Champion" well if it was me I would be sitting in the back and taking notes HE HAS 26 GOLD MEDALS ON THE SENIOR LEVEL he must be doing something right. But granted im not there but it just seems like its one or two people that are getting butt hurt but come on your at Worlds! Hvae fun and get medals work as a TEAM its TEAM USA not GROUP USA. I know I dont know the whole truth and I never will know the whole truth but this is what I see from the outside I hope everything works out down there and they can come together and show the World Team USA is the best. Sorry for the rambling but I had to say some stuff on this touchy subject that has been in a lot of peoples heads the last couple days. So what is it to you Team USA or Group USA? You decide...
