The USOC need to do a better job in paying athletes more livable wages, and not be taxed by the IRS
Comment from : @j22ton

They should just abolish the IRS for taxing Olympians who represented the USA 🇺🇸
Comment from : @j22ton

Fuck them, pay your athletes It's all most as nasty as college players not being paid
Comment from : @MRblazedBEANS

I never understood why schools push joining a sport so bad, if in the long run playing a sport doesn't do anything for you if you don't make it big

Fuck Olympics
Comment from : @cortion730

I think with Britain though, athletes who are at Olympic level get paid quite a lot PA anyway, and I think if they win gold their yearly income raises, so they don't get a bonus but there is monetary reward
Comment from : @megan19997

track athletes makes a lot of money not just bolttheir claims are false
Comment from : @MetalGuitar124

Great Britain really? Come on take care of your athletes They are representing you
Comment from : @TMartins379

Gabby Douglass is bae, Imagine her doing front flips and shit on you in bed <3brSeriously though why can't we give more money to at least medal winners I suppose in light of social media, younger athletes will be able to make an actual living for their efforts
Comment from : @CloudTribe

Comment from : @TilakKamath

Great Britain gives NOTHINGI mean Mo Farah gets nothing from Great Britain? I am better off with my 9 to 5 job Thanks
Comment from : @SammySam316

I think you'll find the fact that Britain not giving out medal bonuses makes us even more great, the athletes are competing for pride
Comment from : @XboxEwan

Shocking that all suffering to pass great food, working out and training just for little in the bank , maybe is why the drug trade and human trafficking is huge hit
Comment from : @isabellayessi

I won 2 Olympic gold medals and am broke right now
Comment from : @issegarawan5716

British athletes get funding from the national lottery so they can earn a decent wage and train full time more successful sports get better funding I'd say it works when you look at how well GB did in Rio
Comment from : @TheBigGoonerAJ

Should be noted that British athletes do not need to give $11,000 to charities to get out of the Olympic country as well !!

Comment from : @Mrboxxchevy

How the British Olympic system works is that yes your medal is your reward and you represent your country for the love of your sport and the honour of representing your country brbrThat being said, the National Lottery gives huge sums to UK Sport who "earmark" potential medalist and provides athlete grants to enable them to pursue their sport as their full time job and plows money into training facilities and sporting venues The better your sport does at a games, the bigger share of the money you get, hence our huge continuing success in cycling, rowing and gymnastics Seriously we have 4 world class velodromes in the UK! However this has meant that sports like handball and basketball have had all their money cut as its not seen as a realistic hope for success It's brutal, but it allows us to support an athlete from a teenager through their career
Comment from : @dizzyduck44

The Olympics is a scam just like college football

Justin Gatlin inspires me with all of the obstacles and negative publicity, he still finds strength to go for his goals
Comment from : @joco7977

Great Britain,wow
Comment from : @harissmithtz4994

the uk national lottery sponsors the athletes and that is fine, but paying them for winning a medal when representing their country no no no, footballers who rake in thousands of pounds a week, should when representing their country play just for the honour ( sorry you tube can't correct the word honour we gave you a language if you want to muck about with it that's down to you) anyway if the uk did pay gold/silver/bronze bonuses, as we have won so many medals there would be a run on the pound

I'm in debt from college One might say I'm winning a gold in debt

Comment from : @karm7423

Note: Usian repotedly made around $200k only from racing and the $20M on Sponsorship So, you have to be the best of the best of the best to ever be in the millions
Comment from : @karm7423

The US Federal Government should make USOC Medal bonuses Tax Exempt They sacrifice everything to represent Uncle Sam and the American People
