I don't want to close the door that if any of us were president of the United States that we would sit idly by and watch something like the Holocaust go down.

The Olympics are very proprietary about letting others promote and market what's going on, so we shut down for 17 days, and they don't let us do a whole lot in return for giving our players to them. We don't get compensated, and we've never looked for compensation.
