Man, being an idiot is one thing but being an overagressive idiot who is not only wrong but angrily, offensively wrong has got to be the fucking WORST.
Jon is a money genius and an extremely intelligent businessman who is a multi millionaire without even considering skiing. I'm surprised more people aren't aware of this, especially someone such as yourself who's taking such an aggressive stance on your "opinion".
Please print out this post, put it against your forehead to hold it steady and ram a knife through the page.
Sparknotes: You're a fucktard, please drink something from under the sink.
Yes, thank you- came in to post this in response.
Also, why is trolltits so amped up about Jon being loaded? Do some fucking research. Jon Olsson owns several comapanies, is a financial and marketing genius, runs JOI and JOSS, a high end optics company, has sponsors like red bull, POC, Audi and many others... And started when freeskiing was in its infancy. I mean take your head out of your ass, man. Not only is he Europe's biggest ski star- which is way bigger than being Michael Jordan in the 90s in the US- but he knows how to handle his money, organize events and businesses and capitalize on his celebrity status and perpetuate his success. I saw a video a while back about how crazy his life is running all these companies and events, flying all over the world and still keeping himself in competitive physical shape. I was blown the fuck away. Dude is so impressive all around.
Jon Olsson is the fuckin' man plain and simple- and haters like the fuckin asshole WW just attempted to explain shit to just try their hardest to think of some bullshit rationalization to explain away his success. You can't. He is the Richard Branson of skiing and always will be so suck a cock. We should all look up to him as a role model IMO- Dude kills it in EVERY WAY POSSIBLE. .
Well that's arguable, but Europe is far different from the US, and I'm pretty sure there's lots of euro ids who could not pick MJ out of a lineup- and if it weren't for his shoes (a great example of diversification of a person as a branding) there'd be far fewer who knew. Futbol and skiing probably outweigh all other sports combined in terms of fame and exposure over there, and Remi would probably be Jon's best comparison in that instance. If your friends have never heard of Jon, they're probably not euro skiers and they certainly aren't Swedish. I only say that because how you could ski, pay attention to events and not know who Jon Olsson is I have no idea.
Actually the more I think about it, Jon and MJ have a lot in common. Both great businessmen, great athletes, ambassadors to their sports, classy people and smart with their money. Maybe he isn't more recognizable across the whole world but they are very similar in many respects. Why people find it unlikely that Jon could be so successful is beyond me is the basic point.
lol... NSG at it's finest.
Well that's because you're trying to not see it, so you won't. No harm in that I guess, but why would a comparison between the two be unjustified? I'm honestly curious why you feel that way.
Well that's arguable, but Europe is far different from the US, and I'm pretty sure there's lots of euro ids who could not pick MJ out of a lineup you're the one who was talking about jordan 90's specifically, now youre talking about present day and even still what you're saying isnt true, you show them a picture of him in a red 23 jersey and they know who he is, show them a simple silhouette of him performing in his sport and they know who he is.

If your friends have never heard of Jon, they're probably not euro skiers and they certainly aren't Swedish. I only say that because how you could ski, pay attention to events and not know who Jon Olsson is I have no idea. you've already changed the time context now you're changing the specifications from an entire population to just the ones who are active in the respective sports
Actually the more I think about it, Jon and MJ have a lot in common. Both great businessmen, great athletes, ambassadors to their sports, classy people and smart with their money. thats like saying Im as good of skier as jon just bc we both ski, it is on such an entirely different level idk why youre not acknowledging that
Maybe he isn't more recognizable across the whole world but they are very similar in many respects. Why people find it unlikely that Jon could be so successful is beyond me is the basic point.
obviously not a fool proof system but google "michael jordan" and "jon olsson" and the score is 50,000,000 to 1,000,000. idc what you're talking about if the ratio is 50:1 there is no justification for comparison
Hahahaha... This is actually pretty hilarious. It's as if you took the NSG guide book to "ignoring the actual point and getting bent as fuck over minutia" with you when you went to troll college or something.
I was trying to put Jon's across-the-pond celebrity status into perspective for idiot midwestern american sheepfucker retards who don't understand how a pro skier isn't living in Steve Stepp's basement and sucking sponsor cock for plane ticket money. Things are different in Europe, and Jon isn't your ordinary pro skier. Remi and Jon are the biggest stars on the biggest stages in Europe, that's what I was getting at- They are the current Eurpoean versions of Jordan so to speak. Cry about whatever you want, I was trying AGAIN to put it into perspective for 'murican kids who don't get it but I guess you've one upped me in displaying that you're too stupid to draw a fucking comparison between two different people, you just want to feel right about something- anything- so you'll just grab at something you percieve to have a shred of inaccuracy in it and dig at that. Good for you dude, lol... You win I guess?
It's pretty clear to me that no matter what I say you will never get it, so whatever. Enjoy your troll stroll.
Oh, so everyone?
You're a fucking retard who'd rather be sort of right about something rediculous than say something worthwhile about anything, ever.
^^perfectly credible statement.
Oh the irony.
Is being retarded like being high all the time? I always wondered.
