Which is more likely: the full range of guilty people actually get prosecuted, or a governing body gets the death penalty? I argue it’s the latter. So either we do nothing or we do something imperfect. And by the way, people can still do gymnastics without the USAG.

You know decertifying USAG wouldn’t decertify the nation as a whole, right? We’d just have to get a new governing body.

The most important point is that USOC CEO Scott Blackmun is calling on the entire 21-person USAG board to resign; the three members who resigned on Monday will not be enough of a sacrifice:

People hide behind the argument that other students might be hurt every time an institution collectively does wrong. I’d argue the students would be harmed far more by allowing an institution to be led by someone who oversaw the creation of a culture that provided a safe haven for a man to sexually assault HUNDREDS of…

It’s time for NBC to answer exactly how much the former gymnast commentators who shriek at us every four years knew, heard or suspected.

Yeah. I don’t know enough to say if she is complicit in the various cover ups. But at the very least she clearly aligned herself with those that did. So she has forfeited any right to have any kind of say in rebuilding the sport in the future. She can fuck right off. Get her out of the way and let the next generation,…

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…

1st: No, most people of power and influence in these situations are not removed. Many of them retain positions or go to other schools/institutions. So that’s just flat out wrong.

An adult man wearing THAT necklace is an abusive asshole? No wayyyy...

You sure as hell shouldn’t count on the guy with the gun to help you

It’s cool though, Tom Izzo is a father and he had the worst week ever. Just ask him!

MSU deserves nothing less than complete and utter ruination for what they allowed and enabled Nassar to do.

This raises the question what other sexual assaults she’s helping cover up

During the Olympics, it’s nonstop swimming and gymnastics on NBC. They take great lengths to ensure there are plenty of puff pieces to televise about the swimmers and gymnasts.

We see the athletes at home, training at their club, with their coaches, at school, with their friends, with their trainers, etc.

So, I ask:…

Except earnings hasn’t keep up with inflation... earnings has barely grown since the late 70s.

I hope the right person was convicted.

I assume they will be sent to collection agency shortly for unpaid bills.

While that’s certainly true about the automated system, you’d have thought that step one in the billing department when this all broke would’ve been to cancel any outstanding balances for the 140+ victims identified. We’re well over a year past that now.

But everyone’s excuse for everything is that ‘it’s a different dept’ and ‘it’s just the computer.’ She reported him a year and a half ago leading to his termination and this whole nightmare coming to light. I guaranttee her mom has made calls to the billing dept. as well as everyone else there and no one can pull…

I wouldn’t trust them to wash my car. They’d just sweep everything under the rug...
