Of course elite sports are a business. I never suggested otherwise.

However, the USATF is not business and that they are concerned with other things than maximizing revenue. They obviously feel that it is worth sacrificing some revenue so that they can create a greater buzz around these trials.



Dude, quoting "this is a business" then replying "nope" is probably the definition of suggesting elite sports are not a business.

And the USATF is indeed a business, non-profits need revenues to operate. If Eugene indeed creates a greater buzz, it should translate into increases in revenue and profit over Sacramento. If it doesn't, then "buzz" is worth about as much as you paid to read this post.

"Eugene, its like Manhattan, only much, much worse and not fun!"
