It costs $300 to challenge a gymnastics score at the Olympics. Seriously. $300 cash has to be handed to the judges. Utterly amazing..

“You know, Paul, I really feel like it’s because we work really hard at it. We build relationships with these kid’s families from day one. We’re well into the 2020 and 2021 classes. The entire month of January we’ve spent trying to get close to 2020 kids. I always think it’s about relationships. We dedicate a lot of our time to recruiting because it’s the lifeblood of your program. We’ve got a tremendous program to sell. When you think about the marketability and playing on national TV games and three of the biggest last five games in College Football the last two years, we’ve been in three of those games. So that’s good exposure for our program.” — Kirby Smart, Dawgs247.com, 2/6/19

But you can deduct the appeal cost on your taxes, surely. We just love to penalize achievers in this country to pay for the folks who don’t wish to participate, How can we be surprised by this? Olympic Committee and US government, two groups determined to fly the plane into the ground.

Well duh, successful people can’t be allowed to be overly successful. They have to pay their fair share so all the unmotivated folks can get by. After a while, the folks that get free money rely on it, then they can just claim that it’s unfair if they are forced to do anything to earn it.
