Joe on Sha'Carri Richardson's Olympics Ban

What's your Rogan experience? How do you feel about the Olympics banning Shaqiri Richardson? 100% horse shit. First of all, I think the Olympics are disgusting because that lady should be getting paid millions of dollars. All of them should be getting paid millions of dollars. All the winners of the gold medals, all those people that are generating insane amounts of wealth for the Olympics, they should get a giant piece of that. They're responsible for the reason why people watch the Olympics. No one is watching the Olympics because it's the Olympics. They're watching the Olympics because you see the best athletes on the world. You see the best athletes who have gone through all these competitions and reached this insane pinnacle of their skill development. They're getting nothing. They're getting zero. The whole world is watching. They're selling crazy advertisement. That money is being generated. The networks are making it. The IOC is making it. All these other people are making it. The athletes, the whole reason people are tuning in, they get nothing. It's insane. It's a disgusting, corrupt system. Gross. And then a lot of times the cities that they move into, like once they're gone, they fall the fuck apart. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, it's a lot of times, you know, these countries, they build up this whole thing for the Olympics and they're incentivized and there's a lot of money that flows into the city. And then once they pull out of that, I mean, the people that live in that country are like, hey, why didn't you spend that shit on infrastructure? Why didn't you spend that shit to fix the bridges in the streets and to, you know, to fucking fix these communities? But there's no money in that. I don't give a fuck about you. Dirty, dirty fucks. But I think it's infuriating that this lady, who is apparently like she's a shoo-in for the gold medal in the 100 meters, she's supposed to be spectacular, and they're not going to let her run that. But they're going to let her run the relay. Like, fuck you. Oh, they're going to let her run? Yeah, they're going to let her run. Yeah, because if she doesn't run the relay, America probably doesn't win. I mean, I don't know. I don't know jack-shay about track and field. I think they'd get her off. I think she's kept off. What? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you mean? An exclusion from the relay team. Yeah, I saw that last night. Oh, this is new? She's not on the team. But for weed, though. For weed. It's so dumb. It's so dumb. For weed. It's so dumb. Look, if they caught her doing steroids or EPO, okay. I get it. Okay. But man, there was a lot of people accusing her of steroids. There was like a lot of people accusing her of a conspiracy. So the reason why she smoked weed was so that she could get caught for weed and not get caught for steroids. Like, I was reading this. I'm like, people can't just look at things for what they are. Everyone has to look at things like with this conspiracy theory lens. Yeah, I mean, that's just idiots. People that peddle in conspiracies and rumors, it's like they, it's a substitute for doing the work to become actually intelligent. You just say the opposite of what everyone's saying. It is. However, track and field apparently has been one of the dirtiest sports. Like they've been cheating from the jump. Apparently like most countries cheat. They try to figure out a way to juice their athletes up. Catch new episodes of the Joe Rogan Experience for free only on Spotify.
