Speaker 2 (03:40):
Or track and field.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
However, before the Olympic game, some of the women water
polo players took to social media and asked for support.
Flavor Flave stepped up and sponsored the women's water polo program,
So wow, thank you.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Yeah, he also heard.

Yeah, I'm gonna tell you something else you know that
I learned this year.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Do you know that you get paid for gold medal? Yeah,
we talked about it all. Yeah, we talked about it,
but it's different American low.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah, it's the lowest. Yeah, because we have so many
gold medalists. That's that's their.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Logic, that's what they say.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
Yeah, it's it's it's it's gold medals.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
That's life changing, like quarter of a million, stuff like
that in other countries.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
And you should reward these athletes who bring gold and
glory to the country. Man, they do have sometimes they
get this athletic things wrong. It's just like they had
to make that change with college foot ball. You know,
college sports allow these cats to make money. You gotta
you know, you want them to represent your country, you
should pay these people. They got to quit their job

(05:10):
and people got to chip in and help them. No, man,
if you have a prospect, a metal prospect contender in
your country, you got to take.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Over and help them. That's it. It ain't like they
don't have the money, y'all stop.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
Right, Yeah, this country and you can't do nothing that
them people can work.

for you.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
You can't go get nobody else.

I don't know where they get all that money in sports,
so money sponsors surely they buy I know that, but yeah,
I'm just saying it's so much.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Surely if they put their logo on this track athlete
or this woman, you know how many shoes they sell
off that?

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Not many people want a shirt because they saw Tiger
Woods with it on, or somebody willing.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
To shoot that. They see Steph Carry and they think
