Team spirit? Speedskaters Chad Hedrick and Shani Davis...their very public bickering.

I disagree that both of them were at fault.

Hedrick skated in a team event, Davis did not. Davis was not a team player.

I wrote a note to the U.S. Olympic Committee asking them to not invite Davis back.

Sorry, I disagree with you on this one -- Davis told his team captain all along, from way before the Olympics, that he did not want to compete in the new team event, just his individual event, and the team captain put his name down for the team anyway, depriving some other guy of a chance to go to the Olympics, hoping he could shame Davis into changing his mind.
