I think to be fair most people pro or anti are used to his chopping and changing now and don't really give one.
It would urk me if a dedicated and loyal sevens player is dumped so he can get his Olympic gold glory and subsequent tick on his CV though
The best players make a team, once again this is professional sport, this is their job. I'll never understand attitudes like yours personally.
I don't feel sorry for players who miss out on a spot in a team to a better player. Plus what I understand it has happened in the past quite a bit with the sevens but I'm sure you didn't really give it two thoughts then.
When exactly, like this?:?
One better player being picked over another fine...One player who is dedicated to a code for years, missing out for a specific tourno (and probably a few months earlier to meet criteria) because a celeb wants his medal for his collection...not on IMO, when said celeb will vacate the code ASAP afterwards.
Each to their own I guess.
+1The Commonwealth games squad recently had several players who either hadn't played for the sevens team before, or had at the start of the career and then only came back in after years away just to play in the commonwealth games.
I agree lets go for the fair play award and good amateur sports morals instead.
