Talk Of The Town
THE DIRT Y ARMY: Nik its that time of the decade again, the olympics! and of course Michael Phelps is on everyones tongue. I got a few things I’d like cleared up, first off wanna get your thoughts on Phelps going clubbing with his 3 gold medals, douche much?? secondly I heard an absurb rumor that any American Olympian who gets a gold medal receives $1,000,000 (one million) from the government, I almost sh*t bricks when I heard that, that means phelps has made 16,000,000 on medals alone, plus endorsements…no wonder he has no trouble with the chicks. So NIK any truth to these rumors?
Phelps act like you’ve been there before. As for your 1mil theory, I believe you are talking about China.- nik
Dude quit hating on Phelps! HE IS THE GREATEST OLYMPIAN EVER! Check the medals douchebag. And secondly get your fact straight. Here in America they don’t get rewarded they get taxed out the ass for winning medals
U.S. Gold Medalist make $25,000. And they must pay taxes on it, too.
The Million$ come from endorsements. That’s why your Subway sandwich costs so much.
$25K for gold, $15K for silver, $10K for bronze. Two seconds to google it.
Athletes get $25,000 for Gold $15,000 for silver and $10,000 for bronze. The highest any country pays their athletes for gold is Italy which pays $163,000.
