Olympians are turning to OnlyFans to fund dreams as they face a 'broken' finance system

The Olympics was intended for amateur athletes, but they're all essentially professionals now if they have any chance of medaling (the Turkish shooter excepted) because they get years of specialized training. And, of course, they find endless new ways to abuse those athletes' bodies by using ever-more sophisticated ways to secretly dope them.

Half of them will be broken by the time they're 30. I'm not at all surprised that this is what they have to resort to.

Don't worry, Coca-Cola and the like will continue making buckets of cash from the Olympics.....

Wait non companies need money too?

If you can imagine the ancient Olympics with all those naked male athletes running and flexing, the sex trade would have been happening back then too.

Lots of consensual sex happens in modern Olympic villages today, because just healthy young people getting together.

i feel like these athletes need to have a plan B for real jobs.

the olympics have been bastardized into a corporate for-profit orgy. theres no honor in these games. its sad that these humans who feel they are accomplishing something dont see the truth; theyre just tools that can be discarded.

A lot of people seem to be missing the point.

There is nothing wrong with sex work or having an OnlyFans. There is absolutely a lot wrong with the fact that the top athletes of our world who perform on the top athletic stage of the world are destitute to the point of having to fund themselves this way. Don't get me wrong, I don't believe anyone should have to use this as a last resort either but it's very telling of society as it currently is when these people are having to do so.

Is this different from having to shill your non-nude body on Instagram?

No, but prudes will prude once nudity is involved for cash lol.

They will probably earn more selling nudes than they would as fitness instructors and coaches when they're past competing age too.

Wow, what a world where super-hot hard-bodied Olympians have to create OnlyFans pages to make ends meet. I will want to do more research on this.

Does anyone know the specific pages they're talking about? For research.

Most of the sports in the Olympics aren't really money makers. That's more or less always been the case. Many athletes train while working fulltime. Maybe it's good OF and things like it provide another outlet. Some countries fund their athletes, and others don't. If anyone is upset about people making a fortune off of it, you can always stop supporting it.

Arent the olympians supposed to be “non professional”? Or maybe it used to be

No different than posing in beefcake physique mags back in the day.

I mean at the end of the day athletes are entertainers. And just like actors or singers, it doesn't matter if you're very good at what you do if you can't land the paid gigs or sell yourself in some way. And the people making the big money are going to be a small few at the very top.

When asked by The Associated Press about athletes turning to OnlyFans, IOC spokesman Mark Adams said, “I would assume that athletes, like all citizens, are allowed to do what they can.”

Fark you. (Channeling Joe Pesci): "You only HAVE those billions in ticket sales, sponsorships and TV rights because the athletes make that possible!"

Now we know what all those condoms in the Olympic village are for.

Links... For science....

Make the “permanent” seats on the UN Security Council conditional on being in the top five Olympic gold medal rankings and all of a sudden we’ll see endless streams of government funding for athletes.

Its really unfortunate that their careers can't be self sustaining and they have to resort to two jobs, but on the other hand I couldn't be happier about their secondary career choice so

Good bye mens olympics.
