1%.

That's the number.

And so, you know, why is it bad that a tennis player can go to the local car dealership and sign autographs for $300?

Well, I mean, my history with them, I was an Olympic skier, number one ranked skier in the world before I ever went to college.

And when I went to college to go accept a full ride scholarship to play football, the NCAA said, well, if you play football, you have to give up all your endorsements in skiing.

Whoa.

your ski sponsor, your goggle sponsor, because we don't allow corporate endorsements in the NCAA.

And I'm like, this is ridiculous.

Like, I'm the number one ranked skier in the world.

I'm just trying to go play college football, totally different sport, and you're going to take away all my earning rights as an Olympic skier?

You don't even govern the Olympics.
