There has been a lot of talk on this forum lately about how horrible WTC is and what a bad person Messick is and how they don't treat their professionals well and, blah, blah, blah.
It seems that if people really cared about this issue then they would vote with their wallets. Don't sign up for WTC events. Don't watch the Kona broadcast. Tell all of your friends and neighbors to do a Challenge race instead and write NBC about how they should be covering a different triathlon organization.
It makes me a little sick to see how hypocritical some people are when the time comes to make decisions about their race schedule. Sure there are loads of excuses and reasons why you may participate in a WTC event; it's close, they put on a good show, Kona is my dream, I love to hate Messick. People (Amateurs and Pros) need to realize it's their choice and nothing will change unless they make a stand. Will it be painfull? Yes. Will it be worth it? Maybe. Quit your whining already and be the change you wish to see in the world.
Rant over, have a good day.
Ready or not here I come!
