Để em trích cho các cụ một bài báo của VOA (tiếng nói Mỹ, để các cụ đừng chửi em 3 củ tội nghiệp):

"The United States is one of only three countries
where Olympic athletes receive no government funding. Instead the U.S. Olympic Committee
relies exclusively on income from the sale of television broadcast rights and from corporate sponsors. Steve Roush, chief of sports performance with the U.S. Olympic Committee, says while the system is not political, the U.S. Olympic program must compete for sponsors with professional teams.
"We are in a tough economic situation now, and therefore there is less corporate [funding] to be had for sponsorship," says Roush. "And we are in a competitive marketplace with the National Football League, Major League Baseball, the [National Hockey League].""
Mình có nhà nước tài trợ, dù bèo nhèo, cũng vẫn là khá hơn rồi đấy, còn lại phải trông vào nhu cầu và năng lực của xã hội thôi.
