Should sports whose ultimate goal isn't the Olympics be in the Olympics?

[Glenn's take]

Sports like basketball, golf, soccer even be in the Olympics? I don't believe for a second that anyone on the basketball team wouldn't trade a gold medal for an NBA championship and that's fine. That's what they grew up wanting, not the Olympics. I doubt there is a golfer that wouldn't trade a gold medal for a Players Championship, much less one of the majors. Soccer players want to win a World Cup. If it isn't the top of the profession should they even include it?
