I'm a co-founder at Dreamfuel; we build tools for athletes & teams. Our first tool is a crowdfunding platform built specifically for athletes.
As the average U.S. Olympic hopeful's salary is $15,000 / year (additional info: http://money.cnn.com/2016/07/07/news/olympics-rio-us-athletes-finances/index.html?); we have had Olympic athletes flock to our site more so than non-Olympic sports for this very reason. We're thrilled to be able to provide a new and viable revenue stream to all athletes, whether they are Olympic sports or not.
We have been contacted by the USOC about all of the above (our team was stunned that we cannot publically congrautlate Dreamfuel athletes who qualify for The Olympics). I want to add that we've also been told that we also cannot post the press we've been receiving on the funding we've been generating for Olympic athletes (we don't have a publicist; all press on our mission is organic by nature) because it uses the O word.
Thank you for writing this article.

Re: #Rule40
Hey Machin!
If you search for #Rule40 on Twitter, you'll see quite a few athletes protesting.
Take Care,

Thanks so much Mike & Techdirt for covering this issue! We'd push this piece out on Dreamfuel's social media but..... :) xoxo
Thanks again,
Emily
USOC told us we cannot RT press that mentions our start-up successfully funding Olympic athletes
