[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good for Griner for getting out, but there is no need to lionize her as a great American. She has a horrible history and track record, apart from this incident. [/quote]

She’s a two-time Olympic Gold Medalist for the United States. I’m sure you’ve made equally significant contributions and will share them with us here.[/quote]

NP
  An Olympia. Guilty of domestic abuse  and bringing an illegal substance into Russia hardly makes her a role model?

[/quote]

She abandoned her pregnant wife and babies and was involved in domestic abuse. If she were a man people would be less charitable. She’s a talented athlete but not a very good person. [/quote]

Neither is he. So we should just leave them there, I guess? Is that what you're advocating?[/quote]

Man are you obtuse. I’m simply pointing out that those who are lionizing her would not likely be as charitable to a man who had conducted himself the same way. Of course she should be home but the amount of adulation and excuses we make for people with athletic talents is disgusting. I think Whalen was probably up to some dodgy stuff. Fogel should have come home before her but teachers aren’t as cool as athletes I guess. [/quote]

No, I'm not obtuse. I see right through you.

This is not some double standard against the "poor men" would would have been treated differently. Go away with your BS. I've not seen anyone engage in "adulation" for her. Quite the opposite, I've seen very little positive about her even from the people who supported her coming home. If you think this is about "coolness" you are an even bigger fool than your posts demonstrates. [/quote]
