Dwyane Wade Wants To Be Paid To Play In Olympics

The long-debated topic of professional athletes competing in the Olympics received it's latest bump today, with the Miami Heat guard saying athletes competing for the Team USA in the Olympic Basketball tournament should be compensated.

At this point, Wade should probably pipe down and remember that he is one of the many athletes who is permitted to compete in the Olympics as a professional athlete on exception.

For the first time since joining Wade in Miami, LeBron James has come across as the voice of reason, saying "I love representing my country, man. I've done it since 2004 and I'm looking forward to doing it in London. As far as (pay), it doesn't matter. I'm happy to be a part of the team, to be selected again."

Since when is over $15 million not enough compensation for a full time basketball player anyway?

Who Are We?

Error: Operator is a blog. Like so many others these days, we post stuff that we like.

We don't pretend to create everything on this site - far from it. In fact, we wish we created everything on this site, but we aren't that clever, and don't have that much time. We don't intend to copyright anyone's work - if we post something on this site, we enjoyed it, and we hope you might too. We'll always try to post credit to the original source, but this is the internet. Seriously, who came up with this? Anyone?

If the handful of views we are pulling is rubbing you and your blog the wrong way, that's fine. Get in contact with us and we will gladly give you the three cents you might have earned with Google Ads if you had those views instead. Or we'll take the post down - whichever you like.

Sometimes, we will post a lot. Other times, not so much. Life is like that. Sometimes, we post well-thought out, detailed posts we would be proud to show our mothers. Other times, we find a video of a dog pooping on a baby and cannot stop laughing until we show someone.

If you don't like what we do, then you're in control - go check out someone else's page. If you think you can do better (you probably can), then nothing's stopping you. And, on the off chance you like something you see, we love hearing about that too.
