> But he has structured it in a way that prevents the money from helping this goal. I suspect it's worse. It's structured in a way that will probably harm the goal. The money will go to people who somehow already managed to marshal enough resources to get to the Olympics. Good on you for supporting people after the fact, but by that point money problems have long before winnowed far too many qualified athletes out of the pipeline. That kid from Moab would be an amazing swimmer. That kid from Punxsutawney shoots one hell of a bow. That kid from Tuscaloosa would have a smoking slapshot. None of them have a hope of clearing the initial monetary barriers. The most effective time to apply resources is when the athletes are young, not done. | ||
