The conundrum: NCAA college athletes/Olympic medal winners are paid

"THE NCAA LETS COLLEGE OLYMPIANS COLLECT CASH FOR GOLD, BECAUSE AMATEURISM IS A SELF-SERVING LIE" -- Patrick Hruby

Anything containing "...Point is, amateurism is a word fart expelled after wolfing down a nothingburger, a Potemkin concept so empty that even the International Olympic Committee—a group of be-blazered blowhards blithely self-important enough to fancy their quadrennial reality show cum international municipal looting an honest-to-goodness movement—has no use for it..." is a must-read.

Maybe not being on the level of "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way – in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only...." but skewering the pompous imperious blowhards displaying degrees of excellence in twisted logic and warped values always works for me.
