Thanks for the link. But it's not working. Do you have the complete one?
songdog - From the information here -- "Katie says she does not mind..." etc -- the decision to keep her out of the race was not made by her.
She might say she "doesn't mind" but you don't know what she feels inside.
How would you like to qualify for the finals of the Olympics and have some coach tell you to wait 4 more years and try it again.
You say the world doesn't revolve around Footlocker.
But Katie Albright's world is her world and no one should interfere with the choices that she has the right to make for herself.
Really I think Footlocker should make an exception and give her a position in the finals.
Does anyone else agree with this. Maybe we can petition them to do it.
