It’s Never About Money, but of Course It Is

It’s wonderful how at such an early age Tara Lipinski has learned “athlete speak.” Never, never use the word money, unless you are saying, “It’s not the money.”

Tara says she is turning pro in order to have more time to spend with family and friends and have fun. Right! Just like all the other pro athletes who spend so much time at home, don’t have to travel or spend time training as amateurs do. The millions are attractive. Why not be honest?
