There's no fortune in that, but fame in one's own community is cool.

There's almost nothing more pathetic than the guys who were on the high
school varsity football or wrestling team with their letter jackets
still talking about that junk 10-20 years later while they pump gas at
the local CITGO.

If it's what keeps them going, then it serves a purpose.

Bet no one told them it was gay.

What is "gay" about those links?

According to you: Coppi and Bartali naming a team after themselves.

It is gay. And those two are apparently gay. Actually back then society was
****ed up in general so I might cut those 2 guido mobsters some slack. I'll
leave it up to Benjo to decide. Otherwise he'll throw in a reference from
some 1953 race that changes everything...



About this:

3.) van Moorsel's team will likely fold in a few years because she has
no title sponsor and so how the **** is she paying for all this?

"Leontien.nl" is her business, it's a women's magazine and pushing
fitness crap to the telemarketing crowd. Apparently it pays for things.
The team is a development project with only 10 riders, most of them are
young (Blaak is 19), so it should be relatively cheap. Another cost
saver: her husband is both DS & manager.

She's an idiot. Her stupid company doesn't make enough money to sponsor a
cycling team. All jocks think they can run a restaurent.

Thanks,

By "work with," you actually mean masturbate, right?

That kind of "fame" is bogus because it's small fish in a small pond.

The Olympics is quite a few levels beyond that.

Anybody who craves to be liked by their community is a ****ing loser. It's
a very superficial thing that athletes think means a lot but in reality it
means jack. You sound like downhill skier Bill Johnson who pulls out his
gold medal from his glove compartment when the cops pull him over and says,
"You don't got one of these.."

People who pay attention to lyrics in songs and try to apply them to real
life need to be clubbed. It's the music that matters, not the lyrics. The
Boss was a great musician, but not a great poet.

There's no fortune in that, but fame in one's own community is cool.

Fortune is made by proxy after a sports career, by either getting breaks, or
creating them yourself via your sports celebrity status. You should remember
the first thing teachers from high school tell you about the real world
after learn a skill, the breaks come by connections of through a friend, or
a friend of the friend in powerful places, etc. If they don't F-up their
sports career, their chances of fame and fortune are reasonably good, but
the fortune counts more obviously. Bartali never found much of a calling
other then a sports writer after his career, but most of the girls with the
college or University degrees they already have will add to their resume.
The sports accomplishments which depending can have a huge effect on which
doors are opened to them after cycling. The fortune comes from getting a
really good job later on and living the good life. That's what they are
shooting for. For most, cycling is a springboard to a better life, unless
you are a superstar like Leontien was. Now that's fame and fortune of the
highest standard for women in cycling. Her endorsements, TV deals,
commercials, modeling contracts, etc, etc will never ever be equaled again
in women's cycling. She was one of a kind, but most women aspire to the
towering heights by proxy in professional cycling. The more they achieve,
the better chances on the outside when they retire.

I do agree, the fame part is always cool, but fame without money is not so
cool but I can bet both Sara and Anna are doing quite well for themselves.
Most women come from affluent upper classes into cycling, so for them life
is never so bad, regardless.

Leontien has a gay team and she has no idea what she's doing. How on earth
does a "development team" - according to you - get her decent PR? She sounds
just as delusional as Nicole Cooke and Sara Carrigan with this gold medal
nonsense.


Thanks,

that's the part that's so dickish about picking on Liz Hatch's
teeth. They're very indicative of social class.

Where do you people come up with this "upper class" stuff? Try middle class.

Liz Hatch pushes herself as a hottie. In fact, she has the incisor teeth of a
fruit bat:

Anybody who craves

C'mon, don't play rhetorical games by adding the "craves" part -- we
don't know that's why she went to want won in the Oympics.
