Based Molyjew talks about what pissed him off about the Olympics.
Olympics BTFO
Brandon Roberts
Ryder Rivera
Too busy watching volleyball now. Summary plox.
Brandon Hill
he hates how athletes dedicate their life to a sport but don't get paid
Easton King
Who does he hate in this case? The athletes or the ones making money off them without paying?
Chase Evans
The states and the organizers.
Samuel Nguyen
He's right tbqh.
They should old the Olympics only in rich countries where they don't have to build new fucking stadiums.
John James
This is literally unwatchable, it's that cringe. He has that condescending autist tone down pat.
Michael Foster
literally who?
Nolan Jenkins
The Olympics aren't that constructive
If the athletes want money get a real job
Luke Gomez
The great philosopher of our age desu.
Bentley Gomez
>he hates how athletes dedicate their life to a sport but don't get paid
Not surprised
Jose Howard
Oh look, another "taxes are bad" video that could be 2 minutes long but he takes 19 minutes to make a point
Anthony Stewart
Stefan "Hades for the Gold" Molyneux
Kevin Davis
Molymeme is a faggot
Jose Richardson
As much as I admire this guy, he should have waited until the Olympics were fucking over before commenting.
Also, he posted his opus about the Roman Empire just when the Olympics started, which will not help obtaining maximum viewer counts.

That would ruin the spirit of the games in my opinion.
I like that the Olympians are basically hobbyists because it requires way more dedication than if we just paid people.
The greeks didn't get paid for it 2,000 years ago and neither should the athetes now. This is one of the oldest traditions we have in the world and we should keep it that way.
Also paying athletes would skew the results toward America even more because more athletes would try to qualify. Getting to the Olympics is a reward by itself. A true competitor knows this.
Mason Turner
I think it's adorable that so many middle-class and lower-class athletes will train their whole lives to perform for FREE at a sports festival, just to help so the IOC brass & corporate sponsors can make billions.
Let's not even mention the billions in tax dollars that go straight to the IOC.
And that "Olympic legacy" of a MASSIVE local debt, a few repaved or widened roads, a community centre and some rarely used specialty stadiums.
There really is one born every minute.
Aiden Miller
Excuse me?
WE are paying THEM the privilege to do nothing but compete in sports.
If that is not enough for them, then they are quit any time and we don't have to give them the money.
Hunter Gonzalez
Chinese athletes get paid a shit ton by the government to get any medal. Just move to China if you want money. They also pay for trip expenses.
Carter Brown
I dunno about in Canada but over here becoming a gold medalist at the olympics ensures very lucrative advertising contracts and a lifetime of cushy television appearances that pay big money
Not only that but it's also very easy to go into coaching off the back of it
And not everything in life revolves around money, I would imagine a gold medal is an extremely satisfying accomplishment in and of itself
Asher Evans
some polack pseudo intellectual, great genius of our time lel
Brandon Fisher
>move to China
NAH

These fags don't get it. There are enough people who love even the meme events to make it economic for national level participants to coach it for the rest of their lives. Some of them in comfort. Look at the weightlifting comm on BBC. If even /lift/ fucking loves her, you can guarantee her UK gym will be rammed out for years.

makes sense considering that if a country has little probably to win a gold medal, it will pay a lot athletes that achieve that
Liam Scott
*little probabilities
Cameron Lopez
So much not an argument in this itt thread.
