Should the United States change how it funds its Olympians?

from Phantom Island

How does an episode go from Ryan Nanni and Steven Godfrey discussing the Toyota Corolla to Ryan bringing on Rodger Sherman to consider why there is no simple term for "an athlete who competes in skeleton?" When it's time to discuss the differences between how the U.S. funds its Olympic athletes and how most other countries do it, of course. Phantom Island is presented by Homefield and produced by Michael Surber. Read Rodger's work at his newsletter, Sports!
