      According to D’Souza, he created the Games because he believes that athletes are entitled to do what they wish with their own bodies

      If that’s been agreed upon as the ruleset for their competitions, I agree

      and that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is corrupt and not paying them enough.

      Also agree, it’s the individual countries that usually pay their athletes to athlete and uh… Yeah, they get sponsors for a reason, don’t they. I know a few people who’ve competed at several olympic games and just being top 10 or something in the world in your sport doesn’t exactly get you swimming in money.
