Nick Symmonds has spoken up about how he feels on the sponsorship problem in the world of athletics. I personally agree with the statements he makes. He talks about how the USATF and the IAAF are hampering the soport from growing, because it is so hard for people to get sponsorship, meaning it is hard for them to keep training and putting in the hard work it takes to be a professional athlete. His statement on how Chevy cant tell Jeff Gordon that he cant have any other sponsors is so true. As a fan of NASCAR i understand that the more sponsors you have the better the coverage is, the more fans will flock to the sport. If the USATF and the IAAF want the sport to grow they are going to have to let sponsors into the sport, with sponsors comes, more fans, more coverage and more popularity.
