I’m old enough to remember the Olympics of the late 70's and 80's. Truth be told, we were outclassed by the old Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc in many sports, gymnastics in particular. The thing is we’d roll our eyes at it and rationalize it by saying, “Well our amateurs are just that, normal people living normal lives…

I think somehow this is all going to get way more gross and horrible before it’s all over.

“As tragedies are politicized, blame is inevitable. As president, it is only natural that I am the focus of this anger.”

“As tragedies are politicized, blame is inevitable. “ Fuck you, you blame deflecting waste of space. I’m glad now that whenever your name is mentioned someone will immediate mention Nassar. Enjoy that legacy.

Holy fuck - She just resigned with a statement that “As tragedies are politicized, blame is inevitable”. Yeah - everything’s being politicized these days huh President Simon. Tone deaf to the last.

About bloody fucking time! Also, too, there’s been a load of complaints, from men, about Judge Rosemarie Aquilina’s “tone” during the sentencing. Well, arseholes, this is what it’s all about. Over a hundred young women and one “outspoken” judge had to speak before shit actually got real and done.

And I can guarantee that those athletes will be better off in the end not having been sexually assaulted. Because that causes panic attacks and depression, too.

Being a superfan means accepting that the thing you love will never love you back. They already have your money, they know it and they know you’re never going away.

Taking down the institution that enabled him, or anyone with this type of power, is the only way we will begin to really fix this issue. How many times does this need to happen for that to be understood? You can’t just remove a few people and then go back to business as usual. This happens over and over again with…

Hey now, we shouldn’t be jumping to conclusions here. Some of those doctors are probably just selling drugs.

Yes! It might break their hearts. It might “send them into a depression.” It might make them cry. Guess what? That’s on the rapists and his enablers! They get to take responsibility for that too! These institutions should pay for those therapy sessions of those athletes. When you have a crime this egregious and…

The story of modern pro wrestling is Vince getting a larger and larger share of a smaller and smaller market. Wrestling was never as popular in the northeast as it was in other parts of the country, so Vince never understood or respected the fan base.

Yes. And some people just can’t understand why an institution needs to face this type of penalty. They think you just need to remove “the rapists” and problem solved!

Well “I already got your money, sucker” is pretty much the Carny Creed and there ain’t a bigger carny out there than Vince.

Mary Lou Retton would be a fucking unknown if it wasn’t for the 1984 boycott.

You aren’t punishing athletes. What you’re doing is telling these athletes: This system is so broken that we cannot risk you being a part of it right now. We know you have dreams (or, at least, your parents do), but in the interest of your safety, we cannot allow you to be a part of this corrupt system. THAT’S…

To see them finally being allowed to say exactly what they wanted to say, and to be heard, believed, and embraced was incredibly powerful.

I was a good doctor, because my treatments worked and those patients that are now speaking out were the same ones that praised and came back over and over. The media convinced them that it was wrong and bad.

And what’s with the “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned” quote? Does scorned = molested by your fucking doctor? Because in that case, like, yeah, hell should hath no fury like a woman molested by her doctor.

Looking forward to the NYT running Nassar’s statement in the opinion section this weekend.
