Phelps 18 gold - Argentina 17 gold

NOC - NSF, do you always want anything to repeated 3 times? I probally can´t do a 4rd

Obviously I haven't been able to find on NOC. Just as I posted links for you, not just initials of a sporting organisation.

And harking back t your original post, are you of the belief that sports funding never helps, or do you just have an issue with the Argentinean team?

In case of Argentina it clearly does not

Just a correction: The 200 Mio pesos are not per year, but for the last two years.

An important thing to keep in mind is that that is the money DECLARED to have been used for supporting athletes. It would be really interesting to know somehow how much of that amount REALLY landed in the pockets of athletes.

And sorry ElChabon, you don't know what you are talking about.

Even if its 10% its still more then 2 times then the average argentine makes

And thank god I do have a point and don't need to insult like some Campora wannabes

Really thinned skin if "you don't know what you are talking about" is an insult. I would advise staying away from internet forums if that's the case.

But I myself should be smarter like the majority who posted on the first page and realise this was always going to be a pointless discussion.

It would be better if you stop the personal attacks and start to post some content

No one's attacking anyone personally in this thread, though "Campora wannabes" would be verging closest.

95% of the threads on here end in pointless discussions. That's why I only stop by once a month and post a few nuggets of highly opinionated and sometimes unpopular musings, and then I kick rocks. I come back a month later and read back all the silliness i've caused. You should try it sometime. It'll do wonders for your IDGAF face.

I might take your advice.
