Yes, I think we did it backwards. I don't understand why we created a system and then did not make it mandatory. It should have been mandatory from the get-go. Sport, unfortunately, is tethered to funding, and NSOs don't exist without it, so why weren't they required to be part of this system?
Whether people want to buy in or believe that OSIC can work or not is a separate discussion. You have to make everybody part of it before you can even have any understanding of how well it will work. To have athletes believe in a system, they need to see that their NSO is on the hook to it and falls under that umbrella.
Athletes have fought so hard for something like the abuse-free sport program here in Canada. We fought really hard, and it might not be shaped exactly how we wanted it to be, but the frustration is that we at least got a little bit of the taste of something, and you're going to tell me that my abuses don't count because my NSO made the decision not to sign on? It absolutely should have been mandatory from day one.
