That’s certainly about the most cynical and twisted way to interpret a rather wholesome philanthropic gesture.

Greg Louganis earned a great spot in athletic history. His gold medals are a symbol of those achievements. Gifting those are significant and something he absolutely never had to do. He could have held on to the medals. But he found a way to bring greater value to his fellow humans by using them so that resources can be allocated toward a good cause to help others.

So in assessing this whole process, I really think that you have to be demented to take the perspective that this is something to belittle in the way you do.
