Ah here. Stop. The special olympics isn't a sporting organisation. Get off!

Plenty of athletes require donations or sponsors to help them with costs. Trainers, equipment, diet, physio etc. If your post is in the style of AH humour I applaud you. If not then I can lol.

Give me some facts and figures for comparisons. What's the budget? How many staff on the payroll?

Well, you made the claim that there were MD's of much bigger corporations on much less, so really, you should just be able to list out a few would being given hints.

It is a registered charity, what other sporting organisations are registered charities?

So the purpose of the special olympics is to raise money for charity???? Are you for real? ? Special Olympics is a sporting organisation. It also helps raise funds for it's athletes.

"Athletes" who are only considered as such due to mental deficiency. They're not exactly breaking any records.

Maybe not, but their certainly breaking stereotypes, or maybe not looking at your opinon.

I now grade you a deficient and just a "poster" :rolleyes:

Oranage2 · 04-10-2011 04:21PM

Simple fact is these CEOs of charities deal with millions and are paid accordingly -

Also when you compare the wages to a college lecturer €60k-160k - they're on pittance really

Yeah, 160k for "charity work" is a pittance.

kincsem · 04-10-2011 04:38PM

I'll go again.

Special 160K Olympics.

See there's were you're going wrong - It's not 'charity work', it's 'working for a charity' - In order to get top people to run a million dollar charity they need to pay top dollar -

Understand now? probably not!

I highly doubt that working for the Special Olympics is among the most demanding jobs around. So explain why they need to pay "top dollar".

You first. You made the claim that you know of MDs of much bigger corporations on much less pay.

If she can get this type if money fair play to her .I'd take it if I got it

You're right. You don't consider them athletes, therefore they are not athletes.
Ham isn't a meat. I just decided it there.

Yes it's a charity. It's also a sporting organisation. They're hardly mutually exclusive are they?

I didn't say they weren't athletes because I say so. I Implied that they weren't athletes based on their poor performance, they generally are not capable of competitive sports when compared to other "Athletes".

Quite a big one actualy, FIFA

That particular charity pays it head a million dollars (well did in 07anyway, probably more now)

Charity like everything else is an industry, it has its accountants, PR, advertising and its CEOs.

Although you may think" but their income is supported by people giving to whatever cause".

But to gather and disperse those funds most efficiently they would need a paid staff.

Where charities suffer the greatest waste and corruption is the African charities, there should be some better way found to give Aid to the third world. Direct aid should be stopped altogether to these places.

The point being that it is a charity rather than a sporting organization.
