The 2024 Olympics has been one big controversy, and Joe Rogan has had his say on the event.
Despite the buildup promising something special, the Paris 2024 Summer Olympic Games has been hit with a lot of backlash. From transgender boxers, to the desecration and utter disrespect showed to Christianity, the Olympics has produced many controversies.
One man who isn’t a fan of the Olympic Games is Joe Rogan. During a recent episode of his podcast, Rogan labeled the quadrennial event a scam.
“The Olympics is a giant scam,” Rogan claimed. “There’s two things going on simultaneously, OK.”
“You have the best athletes in the world participating in their disciplines, that’s happening. And then on top of that, you have enormous amounts of money being made, and none of it is going to the athletes. It is a giant scam.”
Rogan continued, revealing that the extraordinary competitors at the Olympic Games aren’t benefiting nearly enough for the amount they bring in.
“So, the kind of people that are putting together that ridiculous opening ceremony where you’ve got a bunch of drag Queens and the last supper and all that wild sh*t. Nobody understands it.”
“It’s not made by athletes, it’s not made by the Olympics. It’s made by the people that are in charge of putting the Olympics out.”
“So, they’re the ones that are reaping all the money and sucking all the cash out of these athletes… The money they make is astronomical. The Olympics makes billions and billions of money in television revenue and advertising revenue, and they don’t give any of it to the athletes.”
Joe Rogan didn’t let up, using his voice to support the athletes who make the Olympics what it is.
“The whole Olympics are insane. They’re robbing people, they’re robbing the athletes.”

“No one is tuning in, there’s not billions of people all over the world tuning in just to see a bunch of transsexuals pretend to be Jesus and the disciples. That’s not why they’re tuning in.”
“They’re tuning in to see who’s going to win the 100 metre dash. Who’s going to win this, who’s going to win that. Who’s going to win the sprints, who’s going to win whatever the f***ing event is, who’s going to win boxing. Thats why people are tuning in.”
“Those people that have dedicated their entire lives to wrestle in the Olympic Games, they’re not getting a f***ing scratch of that. It’s nuts.”
