Amateur is a player or athletes who participates in a sport, on an unpaid basis.

If our club athletes were not paid then yes, it would be reasonable for the U21 or NT to take control of their amateur athletes for the betterment of the country. So your example of amateurs is a good thought but it does not correlate with the athletes on club teams.

Club athletes do get paid by their clubs and are managed by their clubs solely for the betterment of their clubs. It is sad that some managers don't stay active or don't train the athlete to its fullest extent but that's on the club and not the U21/NT to take control.

That's easy to say when there's 1200+ other clubs.

It's easy to say when it's a stupid argument. No manager would agree to give up their 150TSP athlete because their NT wants to steal them. If the player does have 150TSP, that means the club team spent YEARS(literally 3-4 years real life) and MILLIONS on the athlete to get him to where they are now. How do NT Managers have the right to steal these players from their clubs for the NT when the Manager of the athlete doesn't care for the athlete being on the NT with good GS.

I'm done arguing about this over the wrong topic post. This should not keep being discussed on this forum.

The 150 TSP guy we are talking about was sold to a manager wasting him. No stealing whatsoever necessary if GS was fixed. Fair solution in my opinion.

USA NBA best Lebron and Curry aren't forced to play on team USA. Point proven. NBA first, not NT.

Well instead of just giving you two of the best players in the NBA, let me give you 11 players. Which is a full team. Even if you had talent that would still run the table after these guys, wouldn't you want these best players to make it almost impossible to lose any game.

Lebron James, Stephen Curry, James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Anthony Davis, Blake Griffin, Damian Lillard, LaMarcus Aldridge, Chris Paul, Kawhi Leonard, and Robin Lopez.

Whether you can win with or without these guys, they are what you would call the 140-150 TSP guys that you'd be missing. As USA, you'd be playing with no one from the top 10 in your country. Does that mean we should force all of them to play? I don't think so.

Also, like said above, there are international players on NBA teams that aren't playing in the Olympics either.

Quit whining about Micro nations not getting their fair share. It's annoying.
