Some really bizarre and dystopically capitalistic in this comments section. Olympic athletes are a significant source of national pride and optimism and sport is a powerful positive expression of the human spirit. We all get value from them, we should feel comfortable giving them at least a small amount of money for their efforts. Currently we give gold medalists around $40k, which I think is pretty low but better than nothing.
- infamousclyde 2y agoThanks for your sanity. My wife is a (Canadian) Olympian and I almost feel betrayed by the level of condescension towards sports in this forum that I am normally aligned with. Like engineers denigrating the arts because it doesn’t generate value— it makes me think some folks are not experiencing what life has to offer.
