For one thing, and this is quite recent, Professional athletes are now allowed to compete , this began with the U.S. Basketball Dream Team in l992 as I recall. It was controversial. in the past- amateurs only - and athletes could be disqualified if they had any involvment with professional sports- this happened in the case of Jim Thorpe. Now the pros are all over the place. On the other hand there was no problem with amateur athletes turning Pro after the Olympics career- as was the case with Boxer Joe Frazier and some others, still it doesn"t seem right. GE and Hewlett-Packard do not have teams entering science fairs, right? to make a somewhat labored comparison.
