REALLY?! This is the best excuse the G&M apologists can come up with for the lack of medals? COME ON! The real reason is the lack of pride / funding the general population has in these athletes. It would be different if it were a professional, team franchise. But Canadians only care about these athletes every four years when the Olympics comes around (I am not including the Athletics World Championships due to the paucity of coverage in mainstream media, particularly on TV, compared to other countries). The G&M should be embarrassed by such nonsensical reporting.
