I do not know if the union defended Guyger. I’m curious about that as well.

I guarantee his defense will be the gun accidentally went off. The all white jury with a few tokens will probably agree. 

He’s already free. Released on $200,000 bond.  Also, the police union is paying for his defense lawyer.

Who is responsible for permanently ungreying these horrible people in the Root comment section? It’s like all of the Splinter riff-raft is showing up here.

Suggest you dismiss the reply from Enkidu (just click the three dots the right of his/her reply). I’m not sure who ungreyed this person, but every comment on this article from him/her has been an attempt to put down Biles. In an article celebrating this superior athlete, we all know the motivation behind the likes of…

Correction: Simone is the greatest female gymnast of all time, whether active or not. This is really not even up for debate.

Heads up! Simone is just 3 medals away from breaking Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina’s record as the most decorated gymnast in World and Olympic history! Further, if Simone can manage to win 5 golds at the Olympics next year, she will tie Latynina’s record for the most gold gymnastics medals in Olympic history.

Well, China is already aware as their top AA qualifier at World’s this year was Liu TingTing and she is 19 years old. China’s new head coach is Liang Chow the former coach of Gabrielle Douglas and Shawn Johnson. He is actively trying to change the culture of China and place more emphasis on training stronger athletes.…

Gymnastics has changed in the last 4-8 years. It’s kind of a myth now the idea that only children are succeeding in the sport. You can’t even compete at the Olympics unless you are turning 16 that year and 8 of the top 10 all around qualifiers at Worlds this year are 19 years old or older.

Just a quick correction here. Simone is the most decorated woman in WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS history. She will likely beat Vitaly’s world championship record this week. To be the most medaled woman in the sport would have to take into account Olympic medals and she’s not quite there.

“We’re leaving Dallas this week, but you all must live in Dallas and you all must try to make Dallas a better place.”

As someone said above, it’s performative forgiveness. It makes them feel good when everyone oohs and awwws over their forgiveness bit. It’s just sad. 

There are some folks who are really invested in performative forgiveness. If you ever look into the case that inspired the Dirty John podcast, you’ll hear of a mother who testified FOR her daughter’s ex-husband. The ex shot her daughter in cold blood in the back of the head (explicitly she testified at the trial he…

Been about 3 years or so since I stopped watching football as well. I find my Sundays to be more productive. I get a lot of stuff for the week done on Sunday. Also, I now watch a lot more Olympic sports like track, gymnastics, swimming, and figure skating which is fun. 

Basically, this! I only sing the chorus. lololol!

Today I learned this song is about abortion. I legit did not know and really never thought about what the song was about. Clearly I was too busy dancing. lol

Just said the same thing. I have a childhood friend who is schizophrenic. He sounds just like this. 

He may be sober, but mentally there’s an illness there. He sounds schizophrenic. 

The DA has dropped the charges against both kids. The officer has also been fired. This is new info out tonight.

Anne, FYI, the officer had been fired and all charges against both kids have been dropped.
