Also Olympians don't make money like that. The black men are in the right places. Go a major pro sport(NBA, MLB, NFL) and make millions. I mean I think cats are getting 25,000 for a gold medal. Obviously the goal is win gold medal and get sponsorships and endorsements. But outside of Michael Phelps I can't see anything getting anywhere close to the type of endorsement money that would come close to what they could make in a major pro sport.
In short olympics aren't worth it financially. I'd be pushing my kid to nba, mlb. And if he couldn't make it in nba or mlb then nfl. Not to be an olympian.
