Not related to anything discussed in this thread.
There was some series of TED lectures about human brain and human cognitive abilities. There was a lady who told that some small (really small) area of human brain was located that is responsible for understanding the behavior of other person who is in social contact. That is tremendous result of evolution of human species. So the person can react not only on the immediate result of somebody else’s action but can predict accurately how the other person will respond on the action against him and can choose the strategy and sequence of his own actions correspondingly. It’s like thinking in chess two or several steps ahead. That ability makes human… Read more »
Did her name start with Kat?
I don’t remember, but if it helps you to understand me I will spend my time to find reference to this TED presentation.
Will we ever see the evolution in your jokes. If the joke is said once it is a joke. If same joke said twice it maybe a sign of dementia. If the same joke said more than two times it says something about joker.
So how long until the ISL uses college and HS kids and just reimburses their travel? Or flat out pays them since the NCAA is going that route?
Bummer for Yozhik with Ledecky and Hosszu being showered with money for over-the-hill, mediocre performances (as he would call them).
You’re just a hater. Ledecky is worth every penny she’s earned. How many medals do you got? Oh that’s right you don’t have none. Ledecky is neither mediocre nor over the hill. She is the greatest freestyler to ever live and a legend.
Clearly you don’t read the comments here enough
Lol. You must be new here. He’s clapping back at another commenter who notoriously thinks Ledecky has hit a wall.
You’ve been once rude to me and are showing again misunderstanding the motives and purposes of my comments about my favorite swimmer Katie Ledecky. I probably possess one of the most detailed database about Ledecky and discussion of Katie’s results is never guessing. Ask Nuotofan he understands people much better than you do.
When you call Nuotofan as a character witness, well…. THE CALL WAS PERFECT!
do you use Lig-MA for database management?
lollll😅
Chill dude. Do a search for Hosszu, click on any article in the last two weeks that comes up, and prepare to read a novella written by Yozhik…then the above comment will make a lot more sense to you…
@ROAD WARRIOR:
I never use personal attacks to insult people in discussion. Damn it. That is how my parents brought me up. But how can I disagree with you?!
Who corrected your emotional initial very accurate observation? Was it you who edited it or someone else?
I ain’t got no medals. You ain’t got no sense of humor or perspective. (P.S. Since you’re new here, just also want to point out, it’s poor form to pull out the “how many medals have you got” argument. If that were the criterion for giving an opinion here, the website would have to shut down.)
KL’s main revenue stream comes from her endorsements, specifically TYR. Just curious: how likely are you to purchase a TYR product over a competitor’s (e.g., Speedo, Arena, etc.) just because KL endorses it?
Just from TYR contract Katie Ledecky gets about $90,000 per month. It is almost twice more than what was paid to poor Hunter Biden. 😀 But from just two meets this Fall she got more than $10,000 . That is nice and not that small addition to main source of earning. These meets can be enough to pay for tuition for instance etc.
At this rate, pretty soon KL will be able to make a down payment on a starter home in nearby Redwood City! (Unfortunately, this is not a joke.)
If the products are good enough for her, I definitely buy them.
Can the HS kids take the money? Or are they up there for ‘rankings” purposes?
For high school and college athletes, there are restrictions on how much money they can accept. We just track their overall “money earned,” though it’s not necessarily “money accepted.”
If I recall correctly they can take enough money to cover their expenses for travel/hotel/etc but no more
I think I’ve heard that before now that you say it.
If that’s true, those top college and high school kids better be staying at a very notice hotel and ect.
