An erection problem among athletes. Referring to the fourth pillar who didn't get up during Vancouver's opening ceremony.
Athlete #1: "I can't believe I didn't even make it up to the top ten... Worst thing is, I've been stuck with the Vancouver's fourth pillar problem"
Athlete #2: "Yeah VFPP happens to all of us, don't worry with that, it will pass!"

It is someone or something that is the backbone of the team or a group. (The Pillar of control) is the leader that guides the team and protects, supports, and the one who brings the skills and utility to tie the whole team together, offering assistance where necessary to help everyone else do their job effectively throughout all stages of a game.
