I'm going to start trying to go for it! I have weak arms, but I'm already trying to get stronger there. I'll make a cartwheel my goal!

Honestly, it seems like the age issue is partially about how punishing and injurious the sport is - how they dedicate so much time and effort and their bodies into a singular pursuit that by 22 you might want time for something else- but also that in certain places (America) the pool of talent is so deep that there’s…

Buoyancy? Is he trying to say black people cant float?

Diversity means one person of color at a time. 2 black girls, a Latina girl, and a Jewish girl on a team with only one blonde? That's just too much diversity for some people.

All my life I've always wanted to know how to do a cartwheel. I'm in my mid 20s, is it too late to try? All these gymnasts are like 19, but I just want s basic cartwheel

I'm joking.

It’s s Wikipedia page. If you were hiring someone and saw rape charges on their wiki page you can look up the rest on a more valid and in depth news outlet or source of info. The FACT is acting like it was hidden only to come out now is not true. He wasn't waving s flag but it was never hidden.

They're all JUST 16. JUST old enough. JUST.

I freaked at how tiny that one girl from China was- until they showed Simone hugging her after a vault and I realized they were the same height. Simone has a sturdier more muscular build, while the other gymnast was very slender, which might be why Simone is the best gymnast evaaar- tiny and strong!

Wut.

Noooooooooo. Damn is that definite. Well, fuck him then, Simone run away into the warm embrace of maybe that hot South African guy who won the 400. No one’s racist in South Africa!

You can always tell from the comments after these types of articles who has some industry experience and knowledge of production and who does not. The writers do not. It's like when other commenters complain about how off base some of their science reporting is.

At my job our samples are worn into the dirt- fittings, runway, photo shoots, celebs borrowing it- packed and repacked- tacked her and a pinned up her- and then we sell them when all that’s over, without being even spritzed with fabreeze. And everyone in the studio just sits there like- “that is fucking ga-ross”

Sample sizes aren’t ridiculous because you don’t fit them. A size 24 would seem ridiculous if you don’t fit it. When I go into a dressing room all high waisted trousers and crop tops seem ridiculous because they look bad on me. Actual people with actual human bodies do fit those clothes, and there’s no way we’d…

I feel like saying he withheld the info is a nebulous claim. Back in 2007 when he starred in The Great Debaters is when I first learned of this, and he’s right- it’s right there on his Wikipedia page, has been since at least that long. Anyone who knows how the prison system works knows it’s hard as hell for convicted…

He was so freaking cute during the whole Men’s floor exercises competition, so emotional and excited. Like a flippy, acrobatic puppy.

They just got the shit sued out of them, they can't go around calling him a rapist.

Supporting his art but not his career- so that box office numbers are lower, so instead of blaming this on feminist ire and solidarity they blame it on black writers/ actors/ stories/ art not selling, as we know what will happen. It's honestly one of those black person v. woman, and how to be both moments for me.

Because Allen was never taken to court to face up for his alleged crimes. Parker was and acquitted. VERY different circumstances. People who have faced a court do deserve to move on with their lives to some degree depending on the outcome. That's why we have courts instead of just throwing rocks at people s they pass…

No it’s called focusing on all the other people who are involved in this, and the people this could help, inspire and influence. He was not convicted, so punishing him in the court of public opinion is up to the individual. I choose not to, especially since the life he’s led since shows that he can be a tool for good.…
