brought in. The leadership, administrators, coaches, and staff completely failed those athletes and allowed a monster to predate upon them for decades.

I think the extent of assault she is talking about is news.

The world has chosen to be afraid of COVID above all else.

In order to compete at these Olympics nobody can have any kind of support/safety

False. Twisties are the worse thing that could ever happen.

This isn't COVID related. She's not talking about the Tokyo Olympics

fattycoug

8/1/21 4:38pm

And about how they wouldn't let her parents go with her because of covid

FieroCoug

oh she is saying two different times. that makes sense

Haven't followed the story closely because I didn't want any mental images

I must have missed it…what is driving her response?

From what I could tell people having been asking her questions and she's been

Zilog

Wondering the same. What is she reacting or responding to exactly? I believe she

Seems like responding to the USA Twitter account saying superficial things

cougfanz

She has every right to be furious, the amount of unsupervised access that Nassar

Parents aren’t allowed this year either 🤦‍♂️

That’s ridiculous, after all of that the orgs should put those girls’ safety hi

It’s not really different from a 16 year old professional soccer player

cougfanz

This is true. My 12 year old was invited to west region ODP camp this year

southbaycoug

8/1/21 4:50pm

probably didn’t want the parents to see they were being charged 400% per room

DiamondMo

That is true.

Even our club requires player-only rooms for our 11/12 year olds for routine

cougfanz

8/1/21 5:17pm

No way I would turn my 11-12 yr old over to someone else to watch over. No way

Some of those ODP rules are ridiculous. Ours requires a 20 hour bus ride

cougfanz

8/1/21 5:21pm

This is crazy to me. As scout master I wanted as many parents possible around

DiamondMo

8/1/21 5:35pm

I struggle with that. How does anyone think that kind of situation is okay? A minor child forbidden contact with

John Doe

You think Nassar wanted parents around. He had coaches and gymnastics administrators creating the perfect environment

Spiff

8/1/21 5:10pm

I do? You're putting words in my mouth that aren't there.

John Doe

8/1/21 5:15pm

Sorry, meant to have a question mark after that first sentence.

Spiff

8/1/21 5:18pm

Crazy thing is he committed some of those attrocities with parents in the room

I know about Nassar, but What is she responding to here?

Apparently I didnt know the extent of this

I listened to a podcast about this, honestly, it was horrendously bad. Basically raped dozens of gymnasts over years.

Spiff

8/1/21 9:23pm

Really should have. I don't know how their lawyers are letting them operate the same way. Liability wise, it is

People should have been arrested for allowing it to happen for so long

Was that a misspelling? 😬😳
