This decision is much more harmful to softball than for baseball, particularly from the USA's perspective. You rarely hear or read about a baseball player's stated goal being to make the Olympic team, but that truly is the pinnacle for softball players. That's really the one way that they can achieve fame (and in the rare case, endorsement deals).

But who cares about softball, right?
