Doesn't it seem like French skiers are getting screwed?

I was watching reasons and they have that segment with lolo and julien and it just made me think about how both of them have been screwed over pretty hard in the past year. lolo but the whole JOSS situation and julien by losing almost all of his sponsors. just something to think about

Lolo does get screwed and its sad because he's an awesome skier but he made the choice not to sell out and spin to win and to actually be as sick as possible and keep it core instead. B-dog gets away with it somehow though I was surprised how high he got scored at X, pretty awesome.

You're not "core" just because you're behind the progression curve.

I was skiing in France recently and we were hitting this big jump with some local riders, One of them whos name i can't say, let alone attempt to spell, was throwing switch dub10s both ways but I had never heard of him. Its clear that skiing media doesn't always give the spotlight to those who most deserve it. Especially if they are French.
