If you can't make it on your own (cricket), I guess you can rally around the false national pride Olympic ideals, sell your soul to the IOC and get the fleeting publicity.
Interesting then that Football (Soccer) is the most popular sport on earth but is still an olympic event!
As for sports and institutions selling their souls for cash and publicity, this is surely an un-sound argument given that baseball (As well as most other American sports) are littered with teams that have moved from city to city for varying reasons.
