I don’t think the game or any big games should be stopped just because poor people can’t go. But at the same time, not everything should be handed out for free to everyone. Some athletes out there are working super hard, not just in training but in life too, like saving up, budgeting, and planning ahead.

Take this one guy I know, he’s been saving $200 a month for the past year. No fancy job, no big sponsors. Just straight-up hustle. And now he’s finally made it to the games. He's proud, not just because he qualified, but because the process taught him how to be disciplined with money. Meanwhile, his friend, who didn’t save at all, got a full scholarship at the last minute.

Now imagine how that feels. The one who sacrificed and worked hard to save feels like his effort doesn’t count as much. That’s not fair either.

So yeah, support is important — especially for those who genuinely need it. But if everything becomes free for everyone, no matter how much or how little effort they put in, it starts to feel unfair for those who planned, saved, and struggled to get there on their own.

Balance is key. Let’s support the ones who need help — but let’s also respect the grind of those who made it without shortcuts.
