The author would do well to point out ways that the team does not live up to the image that they are doing so well marketing.

Craggs seems to have a view into the dark, selfish souls of the players, and I guess when you've got that, who needs any evidence. So we should assume that when they're posing before cameras (gasp!) with the opposing team or watching the swimming events, they're really only doing this for future earning potential? Weird assumptions to make, in my opinion. Let's cut them some slack here.

Mr. Craggs, I hope you can somehow avoid the promotional blitz of Redeem Team products which are flooding the country and making it nearly impossible to walk down the street without painful reminders that our Olympic basketball team is comprised of professional athletes.
